Colligo Blog: Content & Knowledge Management

Found a very cool post from Chris Johnson about how you can use Microsoft’s free SyncToy to sync files on your laptop with those in a SharePoint folder. I’ve tried it and think it works pretty well for a single user that wants to access and modify files on a site or subsite that they have exclusive access to.

If you are planning to access a shared site (i.e. one to which other users contribute) this is not recommended, however. SyncToy is not able to resolve conflicting changes made on your laptop with those made on the SharePoint server. Even if you choose “synchronize”, changes on the “right” folder overwrite those on the “left”. Also, other SharePoint features (such as custom lists, issues, events or metadata), do not work and it doesn’t support metadata or views.

Well, for my very first Blog post, being able to announce the Beta 2 release of Colligo for SharePoint is pretty cool.

Our Beta 1 went really well, we had a good number of testers from all around the world, from whom we gathered a great deal of tremendously useful feedback. So to everyone who helped us out on the Beta 1 testing we give a hearty thanks!

We really appreciate the time you spent and the excellent quality of your feedback.
