This article covers sharing public files and folders from a Microsoft SharePoint-based document library into the Drupal content management system.
These document libraries are intended for public audiences. Do not add files and folders to the document libraries that may contain sensitive information or information that is not meant for public consumption.
You can submit a request to have a SharePoint-based document library created. If you are unsure how to proceed, you can request a consultation with the Business Productivity group.
