Integrate your favorite File Collaboration solution Seafile and Microsoft Outlook with the new Seafile add-in for Microsoft Outlook. A ready-for-testing version is now available for download at Plugin Integration | Seafile The add-in was developed by datamate, European Seafile Partner, and freelance developer Simon Giesen.
Features
The add-in supports:
Create sharing links (with password/expiration) directly from the mail window
Insert existing sharing links in emails
Upload file attachments to a folder/library
Upload an email’s as an HTML file to a folder/library
Switch to Seahub with one click - no login required
Authentication with username/password and single-sign on (SSO) is supported. The password/token is stored in a JSON-formatted cfg-file in Windows’s hidden AppData folder. (Depending on the system’s configuration, the file is either saved in the Roaming or Local folder.) The password/token is protected with .NET’s DataProtectionProvider Class against the Local User Windows Certificate. The file itself is unencrypted.
Installation
The add-in is compatible with Microsoft Outlook 2010 and later as well as Office 365. The add-in was tested extensively on Windows 10 computers.
Extract the files from the package and run the setup.exe. If not already installed on the computer, the .NET Framework 3.5 is installed as the only prerequisite.
Further development and release
The add-in is version 0.9 and under development by datamate. At this point, the upload of emails and email attachments still requires a local folder at C:\seafile. The English translation is WIP.
The test period runs for 2 weeks. Post you feedback underneath. A production ready version will be released under an open-source license in the weeks thereafter on GitHub.
datamate considers developing an enterprise-ready add-in supporting custom branding and automatic deployment. Interested? Please contact us at seafile@datamate.org!
Hey, this sounds awesome.
Unfortunately, it won’t work in my setup. Installation runs fine but I can’t login to my server (wrong credentials).
Looking to my nginx error.log I can see some SSL handshake issue. 2020/03/28 10:47:35 [crit] 1299#1299: *49056 SSL_do_handshake() failed (SSL: error:14209102:SSL routines:tls_early_post_process_client_hello:unsupported protocol) while SSL handshaking, client: 1.2.3.4, server: 0.0.0.0:443
My server is configured to SSLlab’s recommendations and achieves a solid A+ there. Let me know if you need any config details (only TLS 1.2 and 1.3 enabled).
Fehler bei der ĂśberprĂĽfung der Systemkomponente Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 (x86 und x64). Fehlermeldung:
“Die Installation von .NET Framework 4.5.2 wird auf diesem Betriebssystem nicht unterstützt. Wenden Sie sich an den Hersteller der Anwendung.”
Weitere Informationen finden Sie in der Setup-Protokolldatei unter “C:\Users\Romain\AppData\Local\Temp\VSD8052.tmp\install.log”.
My system is a Windows 10 machine with an up to date .net Framework… I do develop an application for 4.7.2 of the .net framework.
A question though, is the software only in German ?
If there is an English version I can help translate it in French if you wish.
thanks for the feedback. I will discuss your error with the developers. I am kind of suprised about your error message. There seems to be a conflict with .NET 4.5.2. The add-in does not use .NET 4, only .NET 3.5.
On the language: The add-in has an English and German language package (German being the default). For v1.0, there will also be a French translation.
I know we are a little late with an update for Seafile’s Outlook add-in, but I am pretty sure you’ll like it.
You can download the add-in version 1.2.2 here. Please note: The add-in is freeware, but not free software. The source code is not available (for now).
I’m trying to change the language to English, but I don’t understand where and how to do it. Tell me how to do it.Thank you.
ps: I install version 1.2.2 (Seafile-Outlook-Add-In-1.2.2-by-datamate.zip) & language Outlook Ukrainian
