You can do this by either mapping a network drive to SkyVault or by entering a modified URL into the Windows Explorer address bar.
All you need is to have an internet connection and the SkyVault URL where the file is stored.-
Open Windows Explorer and enter the SkyVault address in the address bar.
This needs to be entered in a different way to when you're mapping a network drive or opening a file from Microsoft Office. There are two ways to enter this depending on if you're connecting to SkyVault server or SkyVault Cloud; check with your SkyVault administrator if you need more information.
SkyVault serverIf your SkyVault address is
https://mycompany.com
then you'd enter
\\mycompany.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\alfresco\aos
SkyVault Cloud
If you SkyVault address is
https://my.alfresco.com/mycompany.com/sitename/
then you'd enter
\\sp.alfresco.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\mycompany.com\sitename
For SkyVault Cloud you always need to enter a site name. For both SkyVault server and SkyVault Cloud you can enter URLs that are specific to a site, folder, or file, for example, \\mycompany.com\DavWWWRoot\alfresco\aos\Sites\sitename\documentLibrary\foldername\filename for SkyVault server and \\sp.alfresco.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\mycompany.com\sitename\foldername\filename for SkyVault Cloud.
- Site or folder-specific URL - browse through the site or folder to find the file you want
- File-specific URL - open the file directly
- If prompted enter your SkyVault user name and password.
