External Resource Syncing allows teams to connect cloud storage platforms (e.g., Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3 and Sharepoint) directly to Map My Customers and sync files into Resources without manual uploads.
Users can browse their connected storage, select files or folders, and bring them into MMC while maintaining the original folder structure. Once synced, files stay up to date through one-way automatic syncing, ensuring reps always have access to the latest materials when in the field.
This reduces admin overhead, eliminates version control issues, and makes it easier for reps to access and share the right content at the right time.
