Add a CMIS storage service

BEMS
 is installed with support for a number of storage service providers: FileShare, 
SharePoint
, and 
Box
. You can also add storage services that utilize the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) protocol, an open standard that allows different content management systems to inter-operate over the Internet.
If your environment is configured for a specific version of SMB or CIFS protocol to access a File Share, make sure that 
BEMS
 is installed on a compatible 
Windows
 operating system. Refer to your 
Microsoft
 documentation for more information on compatibility.

Enabling and disabling storage providers on this page affects what storage resources are visible at any given time for users, but has no such impact on the server. If this option is not selected, users can't access the fileshare and receive the following error message on the device: 
    Data sources could not be retrieved. Unable to connect to the server
