I’m sure a lot of you have heard about Colligo for offline SharePoint. Unfortunately, the SharePoint sites that I continually access where for my company have some interesting security setup and therefore I’ve never been able to get Colligo to work. Since I had originally tried, I never really bothered to figure it out as we were told it simply wouldn’t work.
However, when I installed Office 2010 I noticed that there was a SharePoint Workspace 2010 which does offline SharePoint too. Since we only use MS products for security I was very optimistic about getting Offline SharePoint finally working (incredibly useful for working on flights). Well, I attempted to use it and quickly realized it will only do offline SharePoint for SharePoint 2010. Unfortunately we were still on 2007.
Fast forward through a bit of searching, and I ran across a nice KB article that explains how to sync a SharePoint 2007 site with SharePoint Workspace 2010 using groove. I don’t really care how it works, as long as I can have offline editing and syncing. Yay!
