Send files from an on-premise folder into SharePoint

The Filerouter agent watches a folder on your own server and each new file is delivered into a Microsoft 365 SharePoint document library. The agent connects outbound over HTTPS — no inbound ports, no sync client, and every file acknowledged.

How Filerouter (on-premise) to SharePoint routing works

Source

Filerouter

Files are picked up from a watched folder on your own server by the Filerouter agent and sent into the channel.

routes · retries · logs
Destination

SharePoint

Files are delivered into a SharePoint document library.
1

File arrives via Filerouter (on-premise)

A small self-contained agent for Windows, macOS and Linux watches a local directory and sends each new file over HTTPS with an api-key. It waits for files to be fully written, filters by name or extension, and confirms every transfer — nothing is lost or sent twice.
2

Channel routes it

DocEvent's channel server matches the incoming file to your configured route, queues it for delivery, and ensures no file is ever lost — even during downstream outages.
3

Delivered to SharePoint

Delivery into a Microsoft 365 SharePoint document library through the Microsoft Graph API, using a reusable Microsoft connection rather than a secret pasted onto the endpoint. Pick the site, library and destination folder, and decide what happens when the name already exists — keep both, replace it (SharePoint keeps the version history), or fail the delivery. Large files are uploaded in chunks.

Common use cases

Real workflows that teams automate with a Filerouter (on-premise) SharePoint channel.
  • Publish scanned documents from an on-site scanner into Microsoft 365
  • Get output from a line-of-business application into SharePoint
  • Replace a mapped-drive or sync-client workaround with a real transfer
  • Move files off a server nobody should be logging into
The two ends don't have to be the same company — invite a customer or trading partner into the channel and they run the Filerouter (on-premise) or SharePoint side under their own account, with their own credentials. Learn how shared channels work.
