Storage services

BEMS is installed with support for the following storage service providers.

You can add additional storage services to meet your organization's needs. The following table lists the storage providers that are supported by default and when they should be used.

Storage providerDescription
BoxBy default, BEMS allows corporate box.com cloud storage users to view the Box repositories using BlackBerry Work Docs. If you delete the predefined Box storage, the hidden authentication parameters are also removed. For more information about determining if you are using a non-default Box storage and how to re-add the default Box storage, see KB 48469.

CMIS

You can add storage services that utilize the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) protocol, an open standard that allows different content management systems to inter-operate over the Internet. Note that only Microsoft Active Directory users are supported for CMIS. This requires that the content management system is connected to Microsoft Active Directory for user authentication for Docs to support it.

FileShare

This storage provider allows BEMS to communicate with the FileShare server. If your environment is configured for a specific version of SMB or CIFS protocol to access a File Share, BEMS must be installed on a compatible Windows operating system.

SharePoint

If your environment uses a supported version of Microsoft SharePoint or Microsoft SharePoint Online, this storage provider allows BEMS to determine the appropriate storage provider to use to communicate with your version of SharePoint. For more information about supported versions of Microsoft SharePoint, see the BEMS Compatibility Matrix.
