Adobe Bridge and sharepoint integration.

Is there a way that Adobe Bridge can integrate directly with Sharepoint Online? Currently, we have mapped a network drive to sharepoint online and point AB to the mapped drive. The connection between AB the mapped drive is intermittent and causes connectivity issues and we have to log into Sharepoint Online and 'Open with File Explorer' to reestablish to connection.

 

Is there a way to integrate AB directly with Sharepoint online?

 

Thanks

No. Bridge does not support any cloud services or sharing except its own Adobe Libraries. You cannot reliably use Sharepoint in Bridge.

I had a little hope to use Bridge as our asset management software. We use a mix of Mac and Windows PCs with SharePoint for file hosting. I managed to drag a Sharepoint location to the favorites in Bridge to realise the folders appear empty because Bridge does not use masOS's file browser APIs to trigger a download like other apps.
Adobe probably does not want you to use another cloud service than theirs. In general they tend to ignore the operating system's APIs or UX guidelines. Welcome to the Adobe's reality distortion field. We are not even talking about how their subscription model is preventing the adoption of their products with university students who cannot afford to pay once they graduated. Ok I'll stop the grievances here and will report another useless software we are paying for to the IT department.

I may have written too fast: the images are downloading from SharePoint in the background but there is no indication it is happening. I'm running macOS 14.7 and OneDrive 24.221.1103.00003 on Apple silicon. Fingers crossed.

I am able to sync all of my SharePoint sites, One Drive, and Adobe CC to be visible in Bridge. Open SharePoint site. Go to Documents on the left-hand side. Then click the sync icon across the top. Two windows will pop-up. One will ask you to sync your OneDrive.  The other will create a synced folder on your Finder window.

 

I am on Mac, so when you open Bridge, on the left-hand side navigate to User. Under here you will see your OneDrive folder, or creative cloud folder, and your synced folder. If you have more than one SharePoint site you should see those folders inside the synced folder. 

 

One thing to note is that even though it recognizes the SharePoint folders it only recognizes images in Image Library under site content. It does not recognize any images in document libraries. Bummer. Hopefully, they will fix it soon.
