Client, Outlook, & Windows Explorer The Contributor Client looks and acts like the default SharePoint web interface, but offers the improved user experience of a full desktop application. With the Add-In for Outlook, users can easily move or copy emails and attachments between Outlook and SharePoint. The File Manager seamlessly integrates SharePoint with Windows Explorer and intelligently links any application that uses a standard Windows File Open/Save dialog to SharePoint. |
