Odoo document system is clear and comfortable to use. However, it is not especially designed to work with files as specific cloud storage solutions like OneDrive, Google Drive, OwnCloud, and DropBox do. To process attachments users need to download a file, to change it, and to upload back. Documents are not synced locally and Odoo doesn't have powerful editors previewers. Specific cloud storage clients don't have such disadvantages.

This tool is a technical core to provide logic of automatic and bilateral files synchronization between Odoo and your cloud storage solution. It is not of use without a real client app.

Automatic regular sync

Synchronization between Odoo and a cloud solution is based on scheduled jobs. No manual interaction is required

Bilateral sync

Odoo sends attachments to a cloud solution and retrieves files from there. Binary content is kept in clouds, while Odoo provides direct access to synced items

Any Odoo document types for sync

Decide which Odoo document types should be synced. Customers, opportunities, sale or purchase orders, tasks or issues, employees or users, etc. Custom models are also supported

Instant access for synced items

The tool redefines Odoo attachments boxes to make work comfortable: download files locally without login, open files and folders in a cloud solution, use standard Odoo previewers

Sync history

Sync activities might be logged. Control over files and folders creations, moves, name changes and removals. Just turn on the option 'Log sync activities', and you would be able to observe the history through the button 'Sync logs'

Default folders

The tool let generate default directories' structure for this document type during the very first sync of a related object. For example, for all employees you may have pre-defined folders 'Scans', 'Scans/Official', 'Photos', etc.

Great support, assistance and very good connector!

We are very happy with the support we received when configuring the Sharepoint - Odoo connector. The connector has great functionalities.
All our questions were answered very fast (within one day).
FaOtools helped us optimising our connector and assisted us with future improvements.
We really recommend this connector.

very professional app, excellen t customer service

This app is very well programmed and does its job very well. But the best is the excellent customer service who also helps when the problem lies somewhere else. You receive a lot for your money.

Florian Quis in the Odoo Apps Store

Excellent !!!

Great App and great Service from faOtools.

Carlos A. Villarreal C. in the Odoo Apps Store

An impressive app and world-class support

I have been very impressed by the way the OneDrive / SharePoint Odoo Integration module synchronises content in both directions and allows me to share documents in Odoo with my SharePoint site. Above all the technical support is top-notch, which greatly increases the value of this product. I highly recommend this product for anyone considering synchronising Odoo with SharePoint/OneDrive.

Amir Hassan in the Odoo Apps Store

Very good product

A perfect solution to integrate Owncloud with Odoo. We sync a high volume of objects across multiple Odoo models, which works seamless and stable. For us it is the perfect solution to have an external DMS instead of the Odoo native attachment handling, which also enables us to interchange files between systems in our best-of-breed setup.
The team behind this module is extremely professional and responsive. They helped us on a few occasions and provided clear answers and prompt support when required, and they even went out of their way to assist us with another requirement we had. Cannot recommend the product and team highly enough, try this if you're in the market to connect Odoo with an external document solution.

Works fine, good support

The first experience with the module is excellent. I had some trouble to configure things right on the Microsoft-side, but the team provided quick and good support.

Marc in the Odoo Apps Store

Frequently Asked Questions about Cloud Storage Solutions Odoo v.14

Yes, you can. To this end:

  1. Turn on debug mode

  2. Go to technical settings > Automation > Scheduled jobs

  3. Find the jobs 'Synchronize attachments with cloud' and 'Update attachments from cloud'.

Take into account that you should not make them too frequent. It is preferable this job is finished until a new one is started. Thus, the configuration should depend on how many items you to sync you have. Usually, the frequency is set up between 15 minutes to 4 hours.

Make also sure that you have set up enough time limits in your Odoo configuration file. Thus, LIMIT_TIME_CPU and LIMIT_TIME_REAL parameters should be equal or bigger than planned cron job time. Starting from the version 13 consider also the parameter LIMIT_TIME_REAL_CRON.

An import notice for Odoo.sh clients: the maximum time for cron job might be set up as 15 minutes only.

No, this feature is available only from version 15. Prior to that version, the module works with the pre-defined structure of folders:

  1. Odoo - a core folder for sync

  2. Models - folders for each Odoo document type. For example, 'Projects', 'Partners'. Distinguished by domain there might be more specific folders: e.g., 'Customer 1 Projects', 'Projects of the Customer 2', 'Internal Projects', etc.

  3. Objects - folders for each document, e.g. 'Project 1' or 'Customer 1'

  4. Files and folders related to this Odoo document to be synced.

As a result you may have for instance:

  • Odoo / Projects / Project 1 / files and folders related to the  project 1

  • Odoo / Customer 1 Projects / Project 1; Odoo / Customer 2 Projects / Project 3, ...

  • Odoo / Customers / Customer 1 / files and folders related to the customer 1

This structure is always flat, meaning that there are only those levels of hierarchy. Thus, it is correct that various document types can't be done within the same structure. Within the folder 'Customer 1' we can't keep the files related both to sale orders, invoices, and projects. Each of those document type has an own (or a few own) folders. Otherwise, we will not have a chance to make backward synchronization, since there would be no criteria to rely upon.

The app assumes that the binary content of attachments is kept in Cloud Client instead of the Odoo server. So, such attachments in Odoo become of the URL type, and you may any time access them either from the attachments box or from the Cloud Client.

After the setup, no manual actions are required, as the synchronization is fully automatic. Just decide which Odoo document types should be synced and set up a related model to sync for each of those (Customers, Sale or Purchase Orders, Tasks, Projects, etc.).

Yes, you can. To that goal, prepare a rule for each, and then those apply filters: for example by type of a project.

Try to make filters self-exclusive in order a document can be definitely assigned. For instance, 'customer but not supplier', 'supplier but not customer'. Otherwise, a specific document folder would jump from one model to another.

No, the tool relies upon a single user end point. It means that all sync processes are done under a single cloud admin (app). Access rights for created folders / files are not automatized. You should administrate those rights in your cloud storage solution.

No. We have strong reasons to avoid real time sync:

  • Performance issues. In case a sync is real time, each file upload will result in the loading screen.

  • Conflict issues. If 2 users simultaneously change an item, it might lead to unresolved situations. In case of regular jobs we can fix it afterwards, while in case of real time we would need to save it as some queue, and it will be even more misleading for users.

  • Functionality issues. In particular, renaming and restructuring of items. In the backward sync the tool strictly relies upon directories' logic, and during each sync 100% of items are checked. In case it is done after each update, it will be thousands of requests per second. If not: changes would be lost.

No, the tool is only a technical core. You also need the connector for your cloud client.

For models' directories (sale orders, opportunities, suppliers, etc.): you may assign your own name for any document type.

For objects' folders (SO-001, John Smith, etc.): the tool relies upon the Odoo 'name_get' method for this document type. However, you can change that by defining name_expression. The same syntax as for Odoo email templates is used. 

Yes, although in case of many folders / attachments to sync, the process might be slow. Simultaneously, our clients reported to us the environments with >10k partners and ~5k product variants to be synced, and the processes were acceptable.

A few points to emphasize:

  1. The sync is constructed in such a way that anyway any item will be synced and will not be lost, although it might be not fast. It is guaranteed by first-in-first-out queues and by each job commits.

  2. The number of objects might be limited logically. The models' configuration let you restrict sync of obsolete items (e.g there is no sense to sync archived partners or orders which are done 2 years ago).

No, this feature becomes available only from version 15.

According to the current Odoo Apps Store policies:

  • every module bought for version 12.0 and prior gives you access to all versions up to 12.0.
  • starting from version 13.0, every module version should be purchased separately.
  • disregarding the version, purchasing a tool grants you a right to all updates and bug fixes within a major version.

Take into account that the faOtools team does not control those policies. For all questions, please contact the Odoo Apps Store representatives directly.

The easiest approach is to use the Odoo store built-in workflow:

1. Open the module's page and click the button Deploy on odoo.sh

2. After that, you will be redirected to the GitHub page. Login to your account and click 'Create a new repo' or use the existing one. Please, make sure, that your repository is private. It is not permitted to publish the apps under the OPL-1 license. If necessary, create a new repo for your Odoo.sh project

3. Then, go to odoo.sh and click on the deploy button, submit the decision in the pop-up window and click 'Continue'. The action will trigger the installation process.

These steps will install the app for your project production branch. If you want to deploy the apps for other branches or update the module, you should undertake the following actions:

1. Upload the source code for the app from the Odoo store

2. Commit the module to a required GitHub repository. Make sure that none of the app folders/files are ignored (included in the .gitignore of your repo). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh, which might add by default some crucial items there (e.g. /lib). You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions

3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or wait until it is automatically built if your settings assume that.

  1. Unzip the source code of the purchased tools in one of your Odoo add-ons' directories;

  2. Re-start the Odoo server;

  3. Turn on the developer mode (technical settings);

  4. Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);

  5. Find the app and push the button 'Install';

  6. Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.

Yes, sure. Take into account that Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart. You should exclude previously purchased tools.

A red/orange warning itself does not influence features of the app. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests, since the latter assumes behavior which is in conflict with our apps goals. For example, we change price calculation, while standard Odoo module tests compare final price to standard algorithm.

So, first of all, please check deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?

If you still assume that warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full lists of deployed modules (including core and third party ones).

Regretfully, we do not have a technical possibility to provide individual prices.

No, third party apps can not be used on Odoo Online.

Yes, all modules marked in dependencies are absolutely required for a correct work of our tool. Take into account that price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.  

The price for our modules is set up in euros. The Odoo store converts prices in others currencies according to its internal exchange rate. Thus, the price in US Dollars may change, when exchange rate changes.

Bug reporting

In case you have faced any bugs or inconsistent behavior, do not hesitate to contact us. We guarantee to provide fixes within 60 days after the purchase, while even after this period we are strongly interested to improve our tools.

No phone number or credit card is required to contact us: only a short email sign up which does not take more than 30 seconds.

Please include in your request as many details as possible: screenshots, Odoo server logs, a full description of how to reproduce your problem, and so on. Usually, it takes a few business days to prepare a working plan for an issue (if a bug is confirmed) or provide you with guidelines on what should be done (otherwise).

Public features requests and module ideas (free development)

We are strongly motivated to improve our tools and would be grateful for any sort of feedback. In case your requirements are of public use and might be efficiently implemented, the team would include those in our to-do list.

Such a to-do list is processed on a regular basis and does not assume extra fees. Although we cannot promise deadlines and final design, it might be a good way to get desired features without investments and risks.

No phone number or credit card is required to contact us: only a short email sign up which does not take more than 30 seconds.
