Document management (Files & Folders)

Whether you load files from users’ OneDrive or from document libraries in SharePoint Online sites and groups, sapio365 retrieves the same information and provides the same document-management interface.

The difference is in how shared files are identified: OneDrive shared files are identified immediately, whereas for files in groups, Teams, and SharePoint sites, you must load permissions to determine whether a file is shared.

Keep scrolling to learn about the numbered ribbon sections shown in the image below and their features.
