Hello all,
We are looking into SharePoint mainly for the SkyDrive features, and team sites. Our users currently have redirected folders, for my documents, pictures, music, etc. and shared network drives for collaboration when logged onto our domain workstations.
However in terms of working remotely we provide web based access to all these locations although our users have expressed desire for this to work similarly to SkyDrive.
- In an ideal situation we would like to make use of the SkyDrive functionality for users documents, but am I right in thinking that SharePoint cannot be used for this purpose, and that SharePoint stores each users document library in the database and cannot be linked to their redirected folders sat on our file servers?
- Am I right in thinking team sites can be setup to allow groups of users to create a site for a specific project, and the site will provide a shared communication feed, and central documents related to the specific team site?
Apologies if this is well documented, but being new to SharePoint I am trying to get key questions answered before I go to in depth with this software.
Thanks
Craig
