You can use the Microsoft SharePoint connector from the CData Sync application to capture data from Microsoft SharePoint and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

Add the Microsoft SharePoint Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Microsoft SharePoint, you first must add the connector, as follows:

1. Open the Connections page of the Sync dashboard.

2. Click Add Connection to open the Select Connectors page.

3. Click the Sources tab and locate the Microsoft SharePoint row.

4. Click the Configure Connection icon at the end of that row to open the New Connection page. This action opens the Add Connection dialog box.

   Note: If the Configure Connection icon is not available, click the Download Connector icon to install the Microsoft SharePoint connector.

5. Enter a name for your connection in the Add Connection dialog box.

6. Click Add to open the Settings tab for your connector.

For more information about installing new connectors, see Connections.
