FrameMaker and SharePoint

Sorry to not give you answers to your specific questions, but you may want to consider changing to another system to make it simple.

I believe that with a small number of users, free on-line versions of Git hosted solutions are perhaps the best way to go.

For example, check out Github (www.github.com<http://www.github.com>) and BitBucket (www.bitbucket.org<http://www.bitbucket.org>) - BitBucket is free for up to 5 users with unlimited repositories (no file limits).

Here is a comparison of various Git hosting sites: www.git-tower.com/blog/git-hosting-services-compared/<http://www.git-tower.com/blog/git-hosting-services-compared/>

Subject: FrameMaker and SharePoint

We are moving from an older revision control system (StarTeam) to SharePoint v2013. We are using unstructured Frame and will mainly use SharePoint as a repository for our Frame, RoboHelp, Word, and associated graphics files. We are currently on FrameMaker v10, but will be moving to v12 soon. I have the connection set up in CMS | Configuration Manager and it seems to be working OK, VPN willing.

Any words to the wise from people who have already done this?

Our needs are pretty basic - IT wants us off StarTeam and we just want an accessible repository that a small number of writers (1-3) can easily get to.

So far, it seems a little slower than StarTeam and there is a 100 file upload limitation. Several of our books have more than 100 referenced graphics files. SharePoint doesn't seem to want to let me drag and drop folders, only files. This will make for a tedious transition, unless I can find a way around this limitation.
