    <summary type="html">Hi David,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can the files be migrated to a CMIS repository? If so, I&amp;#39;d suggest that you migrated the files to something like Alfresco Community and then connect Liferay to Alfresco as a CMIS repository.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If not, you could &amp;#34;import&amp;#34; the files to Liferay through Liferay Sync.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or you could build a simple portlet to browse the files (using something like jcifs if they are not in the same machine).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HTH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fernando</summary>

    <summary type="html">We have a requirement to &amp;#34;share&amp;#34; a network drive full of files to our Liferay users.&lt;br /&gt;We are talking at least a terrabyte of files.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the most part it will be read only access AFAIK but at this stage I am just soliciting ideas about what packages may be available to assist in delivering this and can draw up a feature list later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dont believe Sharepoint allows this (so we cannot use the Sharepoint connector) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesnt have to be considered a Document Repository either so can be outside of the Documents and Media service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has any one written a portlet that provides a level of document/file management directly to a windows location?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could there be server to server WebDav portlet that can be exploited?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there any standard /Open Source java portlet or components that can be used to help?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not afraid of developing something from scratch but a head start is always nice to have and I dont like reinventing the wheel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks&lt;br /&gt;​​​​​​​Dave</summary>
