Keep SharePoint synced without write access 🔒
Shared by Mitt • Connect SharePoint with read-only access and keep your CLEATUS folders current without allowing changes to your company files.
Hello everyone! We've added read-only SharePoint sync, so you can keep CLEATUS up to date with your team's files without giving CLEATUS permission to change anything in SharePoint. It is a simpler way to bring the documents you need into your workspace while meeting your security team's requirements.
What's New
With read-only SharePoint sync, you can choose read-only access when connecting SharePoint. Your synced folders update one way, from SharePoint into CLEATUS, so the source files stay under your team's control.
How It Works
- Go to Settings → Integrations and click "Set up" under SharePoint
- Choose "Read-only", click "Connect with Microsoft", and approve the read-only connection
- In the Document Hub, click the SharePoint import button and choose a folder
- Turn on "Keep this folder in sync" for supported paid plans
- New files, edits, renames, and deletions in SharePoint flow into CLEATUS automatically
- To change a synced file, open SharePoint and make the edit there
Already connected with read and write access? Disconnect SharePoint and connect again to switch to read-only. Your synced folders will pick up where they left off.
Why It Matters
Many IT and security teams will not approve a connection that can edit or delete company files. A read-only connection keeps SharePoint protected while your team gets automatic document updates in CLEATUS, without needing a security exception for file changes.
Get Started
Go to Settings → Integrations, click "Set up" under SharePoint, and choose "Read-only". Then import a folder from the Document Hub and turn on "Keep this folder in sync".
Happy syncing! 🔄
