Re: OCA DMS - possibility to store documents on external storage?
There is another whole repository that deals with external storage systems - OCA/storage which integrates such systems. But that stores the attachments/documents/images in a way that's not really friendly to the naked eye.

OCA DMS - possibility to store documents on external storage?
Hello, I have a customer who would like to manage documents ala OCA/dms but would like them to be available on external storage system like Google Drive (for employees that do not use Odoo). They are interested in things lik Sale Orders, Invoices, ... to be available. Reading the docs / looking at the source it doesn't seem to it is directly possible / available. There is another whole repository that deals with external storage systems - OCA/storage which integrates such systems. But that stores the attachments/documents/images in a way that's not really friendly to the naked eye. Is such integration a good idea? Should it even be done or another approach should be taken? Or am I missing something? Any advice is highly welcome here. Best regards Radovan Skolnik

And we have this one started by Holger Brunn and our own Florian Kantelberg
https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/11.0/base_dav/
But its also not exactly new :-)

Do you know is there is a tool to synchronize Odoo calendar with NextCloud (instead of Google) ?

i think the module you are referring is not Open Source (although in the cases i used it, it was working mostly fine) and i also do agree that we should not turn Odoo into something it should be. Nextcloud, while being an pretty solid and mature Open Source cloud tool, isn't a full blown document management system and for now doesn't pretend to be either. Besides that i thing "External Storage" captures quite a few additional use cases that are a way beyond the traditional DMS requirements. I think the only think that is probably missing is a External Storage connector in the OCA space that connects Odoo and Nextcloud via the NC API instead of using only the WebDav standard.

Dear,
In the app store there is an odoo / Nextcloud connector that is working fine. With this connector you have all you want. In Nextcloud you can easily share the documents you want with anyone you want, the way you want it. And the connector is easy to set up an use. Maybe there could be an extra method in it to rename the documents so that they are better searchable outside odoo. But it seems a little crazy to develop something as a full grown DMS when with Nextcloud ( and others ) there are already splendid, mature options that are fully open source, use postgres as their database and have an API that can be connected to from python -)
With kind regards,

Re: OCA DMS - possibility to store documents on external storage?
Hi Xavier,
exactly this one. And now i am currently not aware of a proper (ideally backend agnostic) Odoo-CalDav implementation.
This is all damn old stuff -> https://www.odoo-code-search.com/ocs/search?q=caldav

Re: OCA DMS - possibility to store documents on external storage?
Hi laurent, I am talking about a combination of 2 repos basically: dms and storage. The idea is to use DMS for what it is supposed to be used but use external storage (customer asks for Google Drive) as its backend. The idea would be the documents managed in DMS wouls also be avilable from that external storage. For that, Enric's proposal seems a great fit to me...
