Hello,

the SharePoint connector is conceptionally tied to the context of sites. It cannot be used to work with files in the Repository, i.e. under Company Home but not in a site - even if you could find a way to manipulate URLs or path information via configuration.
So for users to work with your documents within Office (without falling back to the pain that is CIFS in Windows) you will need a site.

Thx for the answer Axel.
I also read about linking documents to sites… is that only possible for documents or also for maps?

What kind of "maps" do you refer to?
Basically, you can link any node / object into the documentlibrary of a site. Depending on what that node represents and how it is modelled, standard features can or cannot work with it in the linked location.
