Hi,
we use Sharepoint extensively. Here my 2 comments:

  1.  Even when a Project is entirely on Sharepoint with all i.e. GPKG, you can 
work with it without restrictions (except speed)
  2.  Due to the filesize of some ressources as for example Geopackages you run 
risk, that Sharepoint files get out of sync. Specifically when Team works on 
the project.

Therefore my recommendation: Move project to local drive, work with it and, 
when finished, move back to sharepoint dir.

Cheers
Wolfgang

Betreff: Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS and geopackages in sharepoint environement

Hi,

We use Google Drive on Macs for shapefile and GeoPackages. The first thing we 
always tell our users is to set the files to Available Offline, so all 
reads/writes are local before being synced up to the cloud. That reduces 
issues, but all the obvious ones around file corruption and overwriting still 
apply. As mentioned, GDAL/QGIS did use to always write the lockfile inside 
whenever anyone opened a geopackage, which would cause the file to sync back to 
the cloud and flood your bandwidth, which is a real pain. That has changed, but 
it doesn't solve the multiple-users overwriting issue though. My long-term 
solution was going to be building a proper geospatial infrastructure with 
MerginMaps and PostGIS so people 'check-out' the geopackages they needed, then 
merged them back in. Sadly we've just been sold to an ESRI-using company, so 
that will never happen, however they do use Sharepoint so maybe I'll find out 
if that's any better than Drive in my near future.

Cheers!

John.
