Access Alfresco repository from windows explorer
Budget: ₹1,000 – ₹100,000 INR
Objective : Access files stored in the alfresco community edition repository from windows 10 explorer via mounting or UNC path. Features required :
- add, remove, rename, copy, move, update any file or folder
- if we edit a file directly or replace the file it should create a new version
- file locking is also required
- instant 2 way sync required
- folder hierarchy is very deep, long & huge
- need only 1 window access i.e mounting only 1 network folder or accessing only 1 UNC path
Challenge : Windows 10 explorer.exe does not support long paths and long file names yet hence 3rd party solution is the only option as per our research. We tried many 3rd party FTP, Webdav, CMIS free and paid tools like AOS, BitKinex, Winscp, crossFTP, Teracopy, CmiSync, webdrive, mountain duck, filezilla, direct net drive, scooter softwares, long path tool, but they lack in one of the areas when tested and no response yet from the respective companies.
What we have not tried yet :
- Dokan / Dokany
- developing customised software or powershell script
