Hello guys,  
I was wondering if anyone have a direct solution to connect Sharepoint documents to Ignition (either standard or cloud).

I know it would be possible to make a script that connects to Sharepoint and pushes the files to the a server that is connected to Ignition Cloud. But is there a more direct way or easier solution?  
Thank you in advance.

What are you gonna do with those files?  
Sharepoint has API's fo you to acces files

The plan is to get the sharepoint files to a Ignition Cloud view so that you can open/download the files. I know sharepoint has a pretty good API, but is it possible to connect the API through the designer directly instead of a script outside of Ignition that feeds the documents into the cloud server. Basically a direct integration of the Sharepoint API to the designer.

Yeah you could use the httpclient to request stuff from sharepoint API

> **[system.net.httpClient | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-net/system-net-httpClient)**
>
> Provides a general use object that can be used to send and receive HTTP requests.

and than use the system.perspective.download to download those files to the client directly
