Instructions for connecting Goodsync with buildagil
To establish the connection to buildagil, you can select "OneDrive Office365 SharePoint".



Note: If you register on several platforms at the same time, there may be overlaps. The private login mode of Goodsnyc can be used to avoid this.

Then enter the following ID under Tenant in the Authorization under Advanced Options: ebd25fe4-c9e3-474f-81d0-59b4c8423fbd.
Then click on Connect to OneDrive Office365 SharePoint.



In addition, the path must be changed to msgraph://graph.microsoft.com/sites/:site:buildagil.sharepoint.com.



The connection is then established and a destination folder can be selected for the data exchange.
To select the target folder, select the project at the "SITE" level and then click on "[DRIVE] Documents".

Compatibility problems with long folder or document paths
Microsoft-based systems are subject to a path limit of 260 characters. If this length is exceeded, it may no longer be possible to open files. Access can be restored by moving the file to a storage location with a shorter path.

The following information can be provided on this topic:
Local data storage (Windows):* Longer paths can be processed.
Server / network drives (Windows): The path length limitation can apply here. This restriction can be removed by appropriate configurations.
SharePoint: Path length restrictions are effective here. Documents whose path exceeds the maximum length cannot be opened.
Goodsync:* Can handle path restrictions. However, the target system must also be able to read the files with long paths, otherwise the documents cannot be opened.
