How to configure DCP FileExplorer in an IFD Environment with WebDrive

In an IFD Environment it is hard to implement a FileShare which is available through the Internet. We found a product named WebDrive where you could configure, for example an FTP which will be mapped to a local drive.

Licensing details

Basics:

License-checks are done each time the application is accessed by a user.

Having an invalid license stops the whole product from working.

An invalid license will never have any impact on Dynamics 365, it only limits the addon itself.


AttachDocumentToEachCreatedActivity

This function allows DocumentsCorePack users to add a document to every created activity (only when using the file explorer or sharepoint setup).

For example, when you send a mail to a marketing lists, an activity will be created for each member of the marketing list.

This extra setting will ensure that the activity also has the document attached in CRM.

This article will show you how to work with this function.
