Recommended method for sync with file servers like SharePoint?

First of all, this is so cool!!! Thank you for all your hard work! Really great YouTube walkthrough as well - it got me excited.

I have to use SharePoint for an application, but it's a bit of a nightmare. It would be so great to be able to sync SharePoint drives/folders and to use Copyparty instead.

I'm relatively new to this level of fs depth, so it may already be built-in/possible and I may have missed it, but I don't see that kind of use case in the documentation.

Is this possible? What is the recommended setup? Or is there a workaround (for example, rsync > Copyparty) that seems like the best method for doing so?

I would just figure it out myself (maybe... and probably with duct tape and glue sticks), but I expect that many other less fs savvy users who would love to use Copyparty would have a similar question. Any insight is appreciated!

I intend to use nextCloud with copyparty (which allows me to just use the same directory with volume mappings).

I think conceptually a difficulty is the Auth: Can we somehow attach copyparty permissions to external Users?

That would be excellent if that just worked. I hope there wouldn't be an additional layer of sync issues with the local fs, or permissions issues in SharePoint during sync with Copyparty. I should give it a go and let folks know how it goes!

Also, it looks like there are some other really good auth discussions going on so I'm hopeful a path will emerge. I saw there is IP auth, and talk about SSO auth, so those seem cool.
