Syncing with SharePoint space

[HeVo]

my company is in the process of migrating from LiveLink to MS SharePoint.

Whilst it all worked just fine keeping LiveLink spaces in sync with folders on my PC, I can't get it to work with SharePoint.

Anyone willing to share his/her experience in setting up such a synchronization?

I tried a whole lot of different settings WebDAV, FTP, SSH, Library 1/2, Authentication options,.. but none successful.

Any suggestions?

Unfortunately all SharePoint installations are not equal.

The new version 6.33 solves one WebDAV compatibility problem. Maybe you can try that again. Otherwise you need to send log files to support@syncovery.com

Thanks for the quick response. I've upgraded to version 6.33 and reran the test. Still not succesful.
Please find attached the log file.

When I copy/paste left path link https://......net/personal/nl06343/default.aspx to the browser I get my logon prompt and I'm able to continue from there..

Please advise.

That link is not a WebDAV URL. You need to ask the system administrator or server provider for a functional WebDAV link. It must not end with ".aspx". Maybe you just need to leave away the end (default.aspx). Or maybe you just need to use https://my.sp.myatos.net as URL.

indeed, when removing the "default.aspx" part from the address I'm able to start the profile. However, it copies much more than expected (see attachment), but also the only one file I stored on this Sharepoint space (This is a test file.txt). It also gives quite a lot of error msgs...

Maybe I have to wait for the sys admin to come up with the proper address...

The file was in the Shared Documents folder, so you could use this path:

https://my.sp.myatos.net/personal/nl06343/Shared Documents

The other files are just standard SharePoint files, not sure what they are for though.

indeed, I also noticed that I could select on only that folder, but in another test I've seen a sub-folder "/Personal Documents/" to also hold actual data..

Vice versa I could also exclude a number of folders in the profile, based on the logfile I now have, but then I'm not sure I'm not skipping files accidentally...

I've no clue what the "standard SharePoint" setup is (if it even exists ). Otherwise it might be a suitable bypass..

[superflexible]

I don't know either, you need to ask some Sharepoint people.

I’ve have a quite lengthy discussion with somebody from my company’s SharePoint support team.

Bottom line: I’ll have to live with the bypass already found; just selecting the sub-folders I’m interested in “Advanced Settings -> Inclusion Mask –> Specify Folders Masks..” and removed the tick in “Folders -> “Create Empty Folders”.
