Office Mac Microsoft Document Connection

As part of rolling out Office 2016 for my shop, I noticed that Office 2011’s Microsoft Document Connection application was no longer included with Office. A number of folks in my shop had been using this application to access documents on our Sharepoint servers, so its absence meant I needed to learn how to access Sharepoint sites using Office 2016.

After some research and discussion with colleagues, I was able to figure out how to connect to Sharepoint from within Office 2016 applications. For more details, see below the jump.

You can add Sharepoint sites to Office 2016 applications, with access to the sites showing up inside the Open and Save dialog windows. Word 2016 will be used in this example.

  • Open up Document Connection and you're presented with two options for connecting your computer: you may connect to any Microsoft SharePoint that has a public URL, or you may connect to a Microsoft SkyDrive if you have the login and password. Since the only SharePoint I use is associated with my Air Force work.
  • Office 365 subscribers can no longer download or install Office 2013 on PC or Office 2011 for Mac from the account portal. To ensure the security of your Office suite and to get all of the latest features, upgrade to the latest version of Office for free as part of your Office 365 subscription.
