If your organization runs on Microsoft 365, SharePoint is probably already where your documents live, your teams collaborate, and your stakeholders go to find project files.
The question isn’t whether SharePoint is a good place to store things — it is. The question is how job site photos get there without someone spending their afternoon downloading files from their phone and uploading them to a document library.
That’s what the CompanyCam and SharePoint integration solves.
CompanyCam Is Not a Storage Tool
SharePoint stores files. CompanyCam documents job sites. And there’s a meaningful difference between the two.
When a crew member takes a photo in CompanyCam, it’s automatically attached to the right project, stamped with GPS coordinates and a timestamp, and available to every tool in your tech stack. It can be annotated, tagged, turned into a report, attached to an invoice, or pulled into a checklist — all without leaving the app. A SharePoint folder can’t do any of that.
The SharePoint integration doesn’t replace CompanyCam’s documentation capabilities. It extends them — so the documentation your crew creates automatically lands in the document management environment your broader organization already uses, without any manual file transfers.
Who Actually Benefits from This Integration
Your field team benefits from CompanyCam. Everyone else benefits from SharePoint.
Your project architects, owners’ reps, legal team, compliance officers, and executive stakeholders aren’t going to log into CompanyCam to find a photo. But they will check a SharePoint document library.
With this integration, the job site documentation your crew captures flows automatically into the SharePoint site and library you designate — organized by project, separated into Photos and Documents subfolders, and continuously updated as new content is added.
No one has to request files. No one has to manually share a folder. The documentation is just there, in the right place, for whoever needs it.
How the CompanyCam + Microsoft SharePoint Integration Works
Once you connect Microsoft SharePoint and CompanyCam, the integration automatically:
- Creates a CompanyCam root folder in the SharePoint Site and Document Library you select during setup.
- Creates a matching subfolder in that root folder whenever a new CompanyCam project is created.
- Syncs all photos and videos to a Photos subfolder and all files to a Documents subfolder within each project folder.
- Keeps SharePoint continuously updated as new content is added to CompanyCam — no manual uploads, no scheduled exports.
- Applies a “Microsoft SharePoint Online” label to projects in CompanyCam so your team can see which projects are syncing.
One thing worth knowing: This integration only syncs projects created after the integration is connected. There is no historical sync for projects that existed before setup. SharePoint folders can be moved or reorganized within the document library at any time without breaking the sync.
Your Field Team Doesn’t Change a Thing
One of the most common friction points with enterprise documentation workflows is adoption. If a new tool requires field crews to change how they work, it doesn’t get used consistently — and inconsistent documentation is worse than no documentation at all.
With the SharePoint integration, your field team keeps doing exactly what they already do in CompanyCam. They take photos, upload files, and document jobs the way they always have. The SharePoint sync happens in the background automatically. No training required, no new process to follow, no one forgetting to upload to the right folder at the end of the day.
The result is a SharePoint document library that’s always current, always organized, and always populated — without anyone on the field team thinking about it.
How to Connect CompanyCam and Microsoft SharePoint
You’ll need active accounts in both CompanyCam and SharePoint, with Admin or Manager permissions in CompanyCam and the appropriate SharePoint permissions. A SharePoint Admin is recommended for setup to ensure access to all subfolders. The integration must be set up through a web browser.
- In CompanyCam, navigate to Integrations under Resources.
- Open the Microsoft SharePoint Online card and click Connect.
- Select the SharePoint Site and Document Library where CompanyCam should sync, then click Save.
