Hi All
Not sure if what I'm trying to do is even possible ... but thought I'd try asking about it here.
I have downloaded the Microsoft Excel App on my iPhone. Upon launching the app I go to the "Open" tab. Then I press "+ Add a Place", and then "SharePoint Site URL".
Here I enter my AOS URL: "https://www.mysite.net/alfresco/aos/" and press "next.
I then get an error message "Cannot Connect. Check the address and Internet connection. You may also need to connect to your organisation's network using a VPN".
Now I have been able to successfully mount the same URL as a Network drive on my Windows 10 PC. I am also able to "Edit Online" from Share and launch MS Office applications. So AOS seems to work fine.
My question is -- does AOS work as a Sharepoint site? Is this possible with Alfresco?
Thanks
Vipul.
Solved! Go to Solution.
AOS provides a subset of the features that SharePoint provides to make it work with the Windows-/Mac-based Office products for online edit functionality, and better support mounting Alfresco as a Windows network drive. It is by far not to be confused with a fully-fledged SharePoint site service. Any applications that claim to work with SharePoint "may" work with Alfresco via AOS only if they restrict themselves the small subset of APIs / functionality that the desktop Office products + Windows use.
Also, whenever a "site URL" is requested, I would recommend not using the base AOS URL - instead append the name of the site you want to access to the URL.
