Connect SharePoint Folders to a Confluence Space

Connect SharePoint Folders to a Confluence Space

You can connect Folders to a Space in order to make them easily available to the users of that Space. Every folder connected in this section, can be directly accessed in each document macro editor when connecting a document to a page. Furthermore you can easily upload files to connected Space Folders via the Assistant for SharePoint.

You can only perform this task if you are an administrator for the space or have the right permissions to view/edit the space settings.

In order to do so, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the “Space“ for which you want to access our app from

  2. You can find the app on the left side panel under the Space apps section

  1. You can start connecting folders by clicking on the “Connect your first folder“ button. A dialog (same as the dialog for adding documents on a page) will open where you can select the folders which you want to connect. You can refer to our guide for more information.

You can only connect folders and libraries to a Space.

  1. The connected items will be displayed on the same page.
