Download files from Microsoft sharepoint

Post by billy.olvestad »

I need to get Switch to download files from a folder on a Microsoft Sharepoint site on regular intervals.
I looked in the appstore, and there are no apps for downloading from sharepoint it seems.

Does anyone know of a method to do this in Switch?

Edit: I should add that the customer doesn't want to just sync the whole folder and keep a copy locally, as it is a very big folder with tons of files that will fill upp the customers storage. I just want to download files and save metadata about the files in a database and then delete the files locally.

Addition to the question. After these files have been indexed in a database, we want switch to be able to download just one of the files when an order for that particular print comes in, so we will also have to be able to download just one of the files from the sharepoint folder.

I suggest you submit this request to https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/appmatch.

In case you wonder, when we receive a valid app request we send it to all registered app creators and it is not a guarantee it will happen, but in the past it has already triggered somebody to develop an app fit for the purpose a number of times.

No, we had to give it up. We didn't have control over the sharepoint site because it belongs to a customer, and we would have to do a lot of configuration in sharepoint to get it to work, so we gave up that idea. The files are downloaded manually now.
