You can access your files from SharePoint, directly from the HowNow Platform. it's important to note two points, first:

  • You'll only be able to access files that you've been given permission to access on SharePoint, first.

Visit My Profile > Integrations and select Connect next to SharePoint.

Authenticate by selecting your Microsoft/SharePoint Account and sign in. If already signed in, you'll be able to click Accept, right away in the given pop-up.

Note✨: Although usually instantaneous, sometimes integrations may require at least 24 hours to sync.

Once connected, you'll be able to surface your SharePoint files, via HowNow search engine. Use the keyword, "sharepoint", to get search results of each of the files you've already been given permission to view, from your SharePoint account.

Clicking on the result will take you directly to the content, in SharePoint.

Note✨: Changes - such as deleted files and updated files - that are made in SharePoint may take 30 seconds to 1 minute, to reflect on HowNow.

Important❗: Due to a limitation acknowledged by Microsoft, HowNow is unable to redirect Users to any content, other than documents via the Sharepoint integration.
