Layer2 Cloud Connector

The Layer2 Cloud Connector for Office 365 integrates and syncs your local or cloud-based external data source with native SharePoint lists and libraries, e.g. external databases, file server shares (NAS), ERP/CRM: codeless, easy to connect, secure and always up-to-date. It has been developed especially to solve the specific challenges of remote hosted disconnected systems in the cloud without any direct access to corporate business data and very restricted feature customization capabilities.

Extends the SharePoint cloud capabilities to existing data sets that will continue to reside within your corporate network.No programming or tools required.No installation or customizing in the SharePoint cloud required.Compatible to all SharePoint offerings, including on-premise and sandboxed, e.g. Microsoft SharePoint 2010/2013/2016, Online / Microsoft Office 365.100% Microsoft SharePoint compatible - Uses CSOM Web Services API model for cloud replication.Secure data connection and transfer: A connection is only required for replication - not for list usage.
