Hey, just a question... does anybody know in general amounts how much extra file cabinet storage costs? I heard it was expensive but I wasn't sure if it was on the lines of $1/GB/month or more like $10/GB/month. I don't need an exact number, just an idea. I'm in North America if that helps (not sure if pricing differs elsewhere). Also, if anybody has an idea about the approximate cost of a SuiteCloud Plus License, that would be cool too.

File Cabinet storage is prohibitively expensive if I recall. We moved to using Box-for-NetSuite instead.

Yeah, I'm looking into a few options. The thing is... if it's just $200 for 100 GB... I might not have the justification to make a swap with how small we are.

SuiteCloud Plus is $2999 a month

I was going to mention what @AI1 said. It could possibly be a double edged sword. Be careful and really understand your use cases. We went with third party document management then realized that a lot of integrations were competing. Eventually we had to move to SuiteCloud plus and at that point in almost made sense to keep data in NetSuite with our discount.

We used Box for NetSuite for years. It worked really well. The only reason we switched is because we are now on O365 so no reason to pay for storage in 2 places. We just use sharepoint now

@AI1 did you build an integration with sharepoint? If so, does it work well? We thought about designing a Sharepoint / OneDrive integration.

Yea we made an integration with sharepoint. It works nicely. There a button on every record and when you click it it opens a pop up window with a sharepoint folder. Not as nice as the Box one because Box is embedded as an iFrame but still ver y close. Our team seems to be happy with it I know CloudExtend by Celigo makes an out of the box connector between OneDrive and NetSuite. I used their Google Drive to NetSuite integration and it was okay. But never the OneDrive integration. I suspect it's very similar. It was easy setup and worked well enough

@AI1 sounds like a good, easy to use solution. Are you using a general account or using office authentication API for each Netsuite user? Curious because we built an integration with Azure Active Directory and it was interesting to say the least 🙂

No technically it's not even integrated. So there is no connection between transaction and folder. We just wrote a script that runs on top of NetSuite that takes a “screen scrape” of the current screen your on and grabs the transaction type and internal Id. Then launches sharepoint and goes to a folder that matches the Tran type and then looks if there is a folder that matches that internal ID and opens it (or create and open if it doesn't exist). So there really isn't a true integration that links a specific folder to a specific transaction. It's more just living on top of NetSuite if that makes sense

For sure. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks @AI1 @NS Admin. Yeah, I've been looking at the competing serivces, and all of them are pretty expensive - I'll probably end up writing my own if we decide not to expand the File Cabinet at some point. And oh boy is that expensive for SuiteCloud Plus 😮. That basically kills any idea of proxying through a Suitelet. If I do this myself I'm gonna have to use an iframe or do it like you did @AI1.

Al1 I had a developer who couldn't understand that was all I wanted on one client trying to do a SharePoint integration and he made life way more complicated than it needed to be with two way talk back and forth between the systems

@KevinJ of Kansas haha yeah I get that alot sometimes too. I think the reason this ended up being so "simple" was because the developer didn't really have any experience in NetSuite. He mainly worked in O365 so he did everything he could on the Microsoft end without having to touch NetSuite. It is a really nice solution. Sometimes I would like it to be a back and forth so we had a direct URL link or lookup to the exact folder, but 98% of the time it works out great.

Oh it was a fuckin nightmare. There were all kinds of issues and we had to insert a middleware to translate into something sharepoint could do
