Network File Share Webparts

  • Article

Many customers have asked for Network File Share Webparts that would provide access to their shares directly within SharePoint. The file shares can either be displayed using a traditional web application or via web folders (WEBDAV).

Special thanks to Mike "Mick" Robeck at Tallahassee Community College. TCC has developed some very exciting solutions on SharePoint, including integration with Blackboard and their mainframe system for students. They also have a robust Intranet leveraging forms, Excel Services, document management, and collaboration for their faculty/staff. Very exciting stuff! Thanks again to Bill Campman and the rest of the team for sharing this code with the rest of the education community. I hope to see you soon or at the very least the SharePoint Conference in October!

    Mark, Bamboo Solutions has a product with similar functionality that allows you to link documents stored out on your network file shares to SharePoint. It is called the SharePoint File Share Library and can be found at: http://store.bamboosolutions.com/sharepoint-file-share-library.aspx Cheers, Wes

    Does anyone have better install instructions than what is provided on codeplex?  I get an error "cannot import web part"  whenever I try to add either of the included webparts on a page. Thanks, Brendan
