No existing connector, but using openCMIS this is really easy: use the openCMIS api in a Java delegate.

Same applies for share point (they support CMIS to a certain level)

Thank you for the answer.
I read a lot about Alfresco and Activiti and it is really sad that managing content along with using Activiti is now only accessible from Alfresco's web app, and for 30 days only…

So is there any older version of Alfresco that supports Activiti plugging ?
Thank you in advance.

In fact, that's what i was looking for. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pQ9E1qOoIp8?autoplay=1&rel=0&wmode=transparent
Being able to grabe files from alfresco during a workflow or upload files to alfresco.
But this isn't available for activiti explorer?

I don't think so, Activiti explorer is not an CMS
I wish there was an Alfresco Activiti community edition…

I found this article which looks very promising:

I haven't done this tutorial yet so I hope it still works with the current versions of Activiti and Alfresco, but I think it's worth sharing since it is more specific than the user guide.

Regards.

Indeed REST API or CMIS, in any case there a lot of work needed to achieve that
