Using SharePoint as External Storage¶

SharePoint is a popular enterprise data collaboration platform, however it provides a complicated user interface and has limited capabilities on mobile and outside the corporate network. Nextcloud external storage support offers an easy way to access data of SharePoint in the same place where other data is available, facilitating collaboration and sharing within and across the borders of the organization.

The extensive logging and file access control features in Nextcloud ensure secure access at all times, while enabling IT to control and direct the flow of information according to policy, legal and business requirements. Data remains on SharePoint, keeping existing workflows and capabilities intact.
