OnePlaceMail for SharePoint Online, a new application from OnePlace Solutions available from the Microsoft Office Store, solves the problem of ensuring important corporate information can be easily stored and retrieved from SharePoint instead of being trapped inside personal inboxes.

Created by Australian developers OnePlace Solutions, OnePlaceMail for SharePoint Online, takes advantage of Microsoft's Office UI fabric so that the solution looks and feels like Microsoft Outlook, allowing users to remain productive with their regular workflow.

The aim is to bring SharePoint to where people work. i.e. in Outlook.

Information that is stored in SharePoint is made accessible from Outlook and able to be shared quickly and easily. The Outlook add-in offers a fast load time, of under a second, so users aren’t kept waiting.

OnePlaceMail for SharePoint Online works with native Outlook clients running on Windows and macOS as well through the Outlook Web App. The add-in will also work using the Outlook for iOS app (subject to Microsoft approval). It is both an Outlook Add-in and an Office 365 app.   

A single click or tap within Outlook allows users to send an email, or any attachments to SharePoint. Choosing where to save the information within SharePoint is easier than saving a file on a shared network folder. The information that is sent to SharePoint can be categorised with all the metadata retained.

Content stored in SharePoint can be easily found and shared from within Outlook. As OnePlaceMail for SharePoint Online is multi-platform, users can work from home using the Outlook client on their preferred device, from their smartphone, or through the Outlook Web App. When they get to the office, they can continue working within Outlook on the device of their choice, accessing the same information without having to change how they work.

OnePlaceMail (Office Store App) is currently in public preview and completely free to use. It can be downloaded from the Microsoft Office Store.
