Is it possible to use SharePoint as a DocMan repository in IFS Cloud ?

Hi @RanukaSerasinghe , No, we were not able  to use SharePoint as a repository.
Instead we are planning to use File Storage option, which also know as IFS Cloud Storage. 

kind regards,

Yashodha.

Thank you very much for your quick reply. Does this now also work for the media library / items?

Hi @FleRaphaP 

With IFS cloud now it is possible to use Azure storage as file storage for DOCMAN

Thanks

It's not possible in the sense that IFS cannot directly speak "the SharePoint protocol", in any way. However, if the "place" where SharePoint stores its files is a normal file folder, and this can also be shared as a normal shared folder, that folder can be used when setting up a Shared document repository. If it is useful I cannot say.

In IFS Cloud, Shared document repositories are only supported in Remote deployment.

What do they think will be better to keep the files in SharePoint than, say, an FTP server or Shared repository with a network folder?

Hi Yashodha,

No, it's not possible.

Why would you want to do it and what would the expectations be on the behavior on such a solution?
