Save ArchiCad PDFs to SharePoint instead of Windows Server

Rimfire

Hi

Sorry if I can't be as precise as I should - I'm familiar with Win Servers and o365 but not with ArchiCad.

Our customer plans to retire the Windows Server which is used (also) for storing ArchiCad data. The plan is to save data (PDFs I presume) to SharePoint. Any thoughts if this is possible and how to accomplish this. 

Thanks in advantage!

P.S. Hopefully General Discussions is the correct forum for my question.

Thanks Lingwisyer


Do you have any further info regarding re-path Sharepoint ? 

1. Just when setting up the initial SharePoint sync in Win-computers set the local "root" identical, say C:\SP\Archicad (for example). In that way all Windows computers can access those files via ArchiCad?
2. Does above mean that MAC computers won't be able to use ArchiCad / Sharepoint, since they don't have the same local path?

They can but the issue is that for some items (like project libraries) they will need to remap because they don't do "relative" paths. This can become a hassle in the long term and the reason that for "group access" it is better to set up Teamwork in which ever flavor you can pay.

We have been doing this for a couple of years now - we use both Mac and PC.

 

Each project is in a separate Teams Channel - with a 'Team / Sharepoint site' for each calendar year.

 

Each user does a "Sync' for their projects, and you save the projects to your sync folder.

The annoying thing is that archicad uses 'absolute paths' and not 'relative paths' - this is annoying for referencing external files - but they live in BIMcloud.

Because our teams are small - we just each have our own publisher set with our own path settings so they stay the same....

I have pathed all of our cloud folders to a second harddrive that has a common designation between computers, and for the computers that do not have a second, I have created a partition to mimic having one.

 

I am not sure how file pathing works in MAC. I do not think I have touched one in the past 15 years...
