Sending and Receiving
Send Files to SharePoint
To send files, set the Remote Folder in the Send Configuration portion of the Settings page to the folder where files should be uploaded. Each SharePoint connector uploads to a single folder location. Use the Overwrite remote files option to indicate whether files that already exist in the container should be overwritten or skipped. After configuration is complete, files placed in the connector Transactions tab are uploaded to the remote storage. If Send Automation is enabled, the upload happens automatically; otherwise, you can send individual files from the Transactions tab.Receive Files from SharePoint
To receive files, set the Remote Folder in the Receive Configuration portion of the Settings page to the folder from where files should be downloaded. Use a comma-delimited list to specify multiple folders. Use the File Mask to set a glob filter (for example*.txt) that limits the downloads to files matching the filter. To specify multiple filters, use the Receive Filter option on the Advanced tab.
Use Delete to specify whether successfully downloaded files should be removed from the remote storage.
