Lialis - WebDAV for IBM Connections & Lotus Quickr

Luis Benitez blogged about this solution earlier today

• Downloading synchronizing content from/to IBM Connections Files

• Deliver shared drives connected to IBM Connections to the users PC (OS independent)

• Allow easy archiving of content stored in IBM Connections by coping the files from the file share

• Readers apps supported: Goodreader, Readdledocs, Bitknex, WebDrive, readers for Android (*)

• Download files from IBM Connections, upload files to IBM Connections via WebDAV

• Delete files in IBM Connections via WebDAV

• Create communities or profiles inside the IBM Connections via Webdav

• Parallel user sessions supported

Now I've used WebDAV in the past with WebSphere Portal and IBM Web Content Manager, but haven't seen it used in this way before.

As a Mac user, I like Luis' next point ….

To me the most exciting feature is the ability to use IBM Connections as a mounted drive directly on your computer. For example, if have a Mac like me you could use this solution to mount all of your IBM Connections Files directly in Finder. Set up your Finder as described here in 3 steps and you are done! Very cool, right?

Guess what I'm going to do next ?
