The SharePlus app
This app was developed for the University of Brighton to enable staff to access SharePoint content through mobile devices.
Brighton Specific App
| Not for me? Not at the University of Brighton? We’ve prepared an alternative activity for the day, try our ActionBound trip to visit Santa! |
What is it?
SharePlus allows your iOS or Android device to connect to any of the university’s SharePoint sites in Staffcentral, MyDepartment and MyFiles.
What can it do?
The app has a different interface to the SharePoint websites which is more suited to mobile devices. It allows you to access and edit SharePoint content on your mobile device. You can even store key content offline so you do not need a Wi-Fi or data signal.
You can use it to:
- Access and edit files
- Manage lists
- Contribute to discussions
