Hot on the heels of the OnePlaceMail R6.2 release hear what the SharePoint community leaders have to say about it.

What is OnePlaceMail?

OnePlaceMail connects Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Office and Windows Explorer to Microsoft SharePoint and Office 365. OnePlaceMail promotes the adoption of SharePoint as your enterprise information management and collaboration platform.

Available in a free Express Edition and an Enterprise Edition as well.

When I first heard about OnePlaceMail, I thought… "Oh great. Yet another Outlook add-in for adding metadata." The reality was I had sold it short. I didn’t realize they had the ability to render web parts, I didn’t know they had the ribbon integration and didn’t realize it was so well integrated. The folder structure for dragging and dropping is drop-dead simple.

From a governance and adoption perspective, the tools and technology can really help to augment a strategy for meeting your users where they are. It provides the familiar interface of working from Outlook and bridges the gap. IT can configure the client so that it knows what sites, lists or libraries to display in the navigation. The software doesn’t even have to say OnePlaceMail or SharePoint. It can be branded as your collaboration or document solution. Now users won’t have to care about the thousands of places. They can have their half dozen folders, sites, libraries and lists.

If you’re trying to reach your users and make their lives easier, you may have found your match. Scinaptic OnePlaceMail fills a lot of gaps when it comes to meeting users where they are, trying to simplify their lives, and simply just get them using it (SharePoint).

You received an email in Outlook and want to save either the email itself or its attachments to SharePoint Online (Office 365)?
You have some files in your Office 365 Team Site (or anywhere else in SharePoint Online) and want to email them to somebody else?
Or you want to send links to some files on SharePoint Online to somebody?
