Application update folder (FTP server, OneDrive or Sharepoint?)

Question

Hi,
sorry for whatever dumm I am about to say as I am new to the development world. I have created an Windows based application using Visual Studio 2019.
I would like that every one who has the application installed on their computer could received an automatic update every time I publish a new version of the App.
I have tried this process by linking to a folder in my computer and it works, so I know I am in the right direction.
Now, I would like to upload the updtaes in a common folder where everybody can access.
My company uses OneDrive as well as Sharepoint but I understand Visual Studio only allows me to input a FTP path location for updates.
Can I use any Sharepoint location or Onedrive folder as path for the updates? if so, how?

thanks
Loris

Hi @Loris Bonotto ,

Not sure if you could use any Sharepoint location or Onedrive folder as path for the updates.

But as a workaround, we could sync SharePoint files with local computer. Thus you could link to this folder in the computer.

To sync SharePoint files with your computer, you could refer to this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sync-sharepoint-and-teams-files-with-your-computer-6de9ede8-5b6e-4503-80b2-6190f3354a88
