automated sync of documents between repository and users PCs

asked on August 14, 2016

Hi all

I have a client who has a requirement to automatically sync subsets of documents from the repository to their PC, and back again. The users spend ~80% of their time working remotely, in many cases away from network / cell coverage. The use case is this:

1. Whilst connected to the repository, they want to be able to select a set of files and / or folders, and copy them to the C:\ drive on their laptops. 

2. They then want to be able to work on the files locally, making changes whilst not connected to the repository

3. When they reconnect to the repository, they want any files that have changed on their laptops to automatically copy back to the repositoryt, overwriting / re-versioning the files that are already there

They will be working with either the Laserfiche client or Web Access.

Effectively the files would need to be checked out in step #1, so this requirement could be viewed as 'bulk check out and automated check in'.

Has anyone ever come across a similar set of requirements, and if so has anyone implemented a solution around this?

Many thanks in advance for any assistance people can give.

Hi Alon

No, I never came across a satisfactory answer for this. My view is that the use case I was describing for this client just isn't core functionality. 

Good luck with your requirement!

Thanks

Tim
