1. SharePoint and Office 365 File Synchronization
Features & Benefits
The Layer2 Cloud Connector closes gaps and solves
issues that still exists with local file share migration
and integration in Microsoft Office 365, SharePoint and
OneDrive via the Microsoft OneDrive for Business
standard client:
• The connector offers a general approach for data
migration, integration and synchronization on-
premises-to-cloud but also cloud-to-cloud that
includes file share data as just one option.
• Several data sources supported: Files on local discs,
file server shares. OneDrive, Google Drive, DropBox,
Box.Net and others via synced local copy.
• No limitation regarding number of files to sync:
The SharePoint list view threshold issue (>5.000 /
20.000 files) does not apply to sync.
• Many known migration / integration issues
automatically solved: File name conventions, path
length limitations. Forbidden file types zipped.
• Flexible filters supported on source and destination,
e.g. on folders or for file types.
• One-way sync (migration or backup) and two-way
sync (permanent hybrid integration) supported.
• Flexible field/column mapping to add metadata.
• Can sync files – or just metadata and link back.
• Several replication conflict stratgies offered.
Flexible logging and alerting. Central connection
mangement in Windows MMC.
• Secure data connection and transfer: The connector
runs on a server or client inside the corporate
network with Internet connectivity available, or in
the cloud. No data is exposed to any 3rd party.
Connections secured by SSL/HTTPS.
• High performance: Works great with large data sets.
• File migration / integration is just one option:
100+ data sources supported for direct connection
and codeless no-touch sync.
