Is this something that would be possible to implement and if so I'd appreciate any suggestions as how I would go about it. I've had a look at Webdav but I'm don't think it's suitable for this task as the documents are stored in various different accounts on the system plus I can't see how to push this all the way back to S3. You’re basically asking for an implementation of DropBox, and there’s no way I’d choose PHP to implement something like that. There are apps that can mount an S3 bucket as a local drive, but again that’s not something you’d do with PHP. To get PHP involved (tho I don’t see why you would) you’d need the user to take the extra step of uploading the edited document when they’re done. However, why not just have them use Office365? -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/
