My agency recently underwent a tech upgrade, where we all rec'd laptops. The idea is that we would be able to remotely access our files from off-site. From what I understand, the best way to do this is with Sharepoint. All our files are stored in folders on our server. These folders are shared with appropriate permissions, and each user maps to them on their individual machine. Ideally, what I would like to do is to simply have the shared folders on the network accessible via Sharepoint somehow. Is this possible? If so, could those of you with some experience with Sharepoint (I have zero) point me towards a helpful article on how to set that up? If not, what is a good alternative? Many thanks!

Use Sharepoint To Remotely Access Network Share; Possible?

hi
is your sharepoint accessible off-site?
if it isn't an extranet portal, then probably your file server is accessible too..?
in any case, the best way to share files through sharepoint, is by storing them on the sharepoint..
the other possibility is to create a search content source which will scan the files server and get them from search results (without developing any custom extensions)
good luck
