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...

Best regards,

	Radovan

Reference

  • 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
