As one of our most commonly connected platforms, many organizations use Couchdrop for secure file transfers with SharePoint. However, SharePoint had been one of the more challenging platforms to integrate with, and although easier with Couchdrop than other platforms, we wanted to make connecting with SharePoint simpler.

Connection Improvements

We have removed the requirement to provide the SharePoint domain when connecting to the Microsoft Graph API. This removes a common friction point and makes integrating with SharePoint easier. Because this is no longer a requirement, connecting is significantly faster with fewer steps and options to sort through. 

SharePoint connection options

When connecting to SharePoint, you have two options for authorization. One way is by creating an application in Microsoft Entra, providing the application with appropriate scopes, and then granting that application permission in Couchdrop. 

The easier and recommended way is to use Delegated Access. This is done through OAUTH and only requires authorizing the connection once through OAUTH compared to having to create and authorize an application.
