Re: Simple question on uploaded docuements

This is the newsgroup for people running the WSS 2.0 or the WSS 3.0 products.

With them you have no choice. If you want documents to be included in the SharePoint site you need to add them to the WSS system (typcially of course to a document library).

(Only SPS 2003 and MOSS 2007 *which are not covered here in this newsgroup* give you the alternative of either having documents stored in the SharePoint system or stored in the network file system in which case the SPS/MOSS indexing routines will grab them and make them available to search routines.)

Hopefully that is clear.

It was only in SharePoint Team Services that only Links (to server file locations) were stored.

Note too that the "Shared Documents" doc lib is not the only place you can store and share documents. You can also create other Doc Libs with different names (create a new Doc Lib not a web part) and documents there are shareable too.

Dear all,

I ma new in sharepoint services and I am trying to present what shrepoint is and how to use it in a simple manner to our internal people for sharing docuements.
For that I have installed sharepoint services under Server 2003 and used the default portal to make some testing.

I have define the share document web part to be displayed on the page and upload documents to be stored there. I have noticed that we can mange versionning and history of documents on that.

But now I have a question with existing documents we have on our company network.
When you upload documents on the sharepoint server "Share document web part" from that networking drive, does the documents gets copied on the server or is it only the link to the mapping network drive.

In other words where is after this upload teh source document and how it is store and where ?

thnaks for the info
