Ideas with status Business Case require a bit more development and might affect several parts of the system. These will therefore have to be prioritised against other new development. The way we do this is by writing a business case for the development and then discussing the prioritisation of the business cases. We write business cases for the top ideas in this category.

I agree that an optional way to access the file repositiory would be good.

Especially it would be nice to support it since WebDAV shares have been supported natively as a type of filesystem since Mac OS X version 10.0 and there is no project place plugin for mac.

Hi all,

This was one of the top ideas discussed in last month's Ideas meeting. I hope I quoted your wishes correctly when I said that it's not the technology as such that is the need but rather the ability to have offline folders that will sync automatically with Projectplace.

I completely agree with the initial idea. Working only with the web frontend is sometimes very awkward and slow. Plus you always have to wait for the frontend until an upload / download / moving files is complete before you can continue working. With WebDav you could make those changes and (a good webdav client as prerequisite of course) then let it do multiple changes.

Webdav is also the best way to access documents from an iPad.

What I understand is WebDav not about offline functionality. WebDav seems to be a "remote" protocol for accesing files and their metadata. This would enable the use of other document browsers (that is WebDav compliant of course) then the official ProjectPlace browser. This whould potentially increase platform compatatability since ProjectPlace not have time nor resources to develop a native browser for each OS.

Any news on this, the idea is two and a half years old and has a great amount of votes? How's the business case work going?

I strongly agree. Accessing common documents via the browser interface is cumbersome and slow.

As far as I know WebDAV only works over http and not https. Is projectplace over https or just http (port 80)?

I agree. Most cloud file services today are acessible with webDAV as connection technique. Why is nothing happening in this issue on PP even after two years since issue was raised?
Offline sync is not interesting anymore with uninterupted mobile access nowadays but a fast and reliable access is.

Hi, I just got this question form a prospect. Is there any chance this will be implemented in the (near) future? Thanks Sunil

BUMP!
This Idea just became highly critical sinnce the old PP browser is now replace and all PP actions are directed into you regular web browser. To avoid the mess this is causing (having PP windows mixed at "random" with regular browser windows) we now desperatly need a replacement for PP web GUI.
I would really like to see something with offline folders too!
