SharePointBrowserPlugin is an internet plug-in for macOS that enables browser integration with Microsoft SharePoint, allowing users to interact with SharePoint sites, documents, and collaboration features directly from web browsers. It was historically used to facilitate seamless authentication and file handling between browsers and SharePoint instances.

1 suggestionSharePointBrowserPlugin is an internet plug-in — a system-level component embedded in macOS itself rather than a standalone application. This plug-in type is no longer actively maintained or distributed by Microsoft; modern browsers have deprecated and removed support for internet plug-ins (also called NPAPI plug-ins) in favour of native browser APIs and extensions. The Intel-only build will not function on macOS 28 (September 2028) when Apple removes Rosetta 2 support. Rather than seeking to update this specific plug-in, the practical path forward is to migrate SharePoint access through modern alternatives: use Microsoft's native SharePoint Online web experience in Safari, Chrome or Firefox (all ship natively on Apple Silicon and provide full SharePoint functionality), or install Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, OneDrive) which integrates with SharePoint directly and runs natively on Apple Silicon. If you are using this plug-in to support legacy on-premises SharePoint 2019 or earlier, contact your IT department about upgrading to SharePoint Online or enabling modern browser protocols on your server.
