Announcing Communication Sites on the SharePoint Mobile Apps
- Hi Aneetha, I noticed some updates to the Windows Universal app this week. Communication sites seem optimised but can you tell me if anything was updated? Believe it or not some people still use Windows Mobile :-)
The new look Communication sites appeared on my Android device SharePoint app today and I agree, they look great on the small screen.
One possible bug, however - when I click on a document library visible as a link from the 'hamburger' menu on the top left it sends me to the SharePoint portal showing all the sites I follow. It doesn't open the library.
This *might* be because my version of the app is still 1.8; v2.0 hasn't appeared in the Play store.
Version 1.9 for Android is still 'bouncing' SharePoint Communication site document libraries (when you click on them), very briefly via OneDrive, back to the list of sites I follow. This must be a bug as it seems to be trying to ope the library (via OneDrive) but is failing. As a result, currently I cannot open any document library in a Communication site.
- Hello Andrew,
I believe this might be due to a OneDrive update and or a one time selection from the user to open the links via OneDrive. The OS redirects these links to OneDrive in either of these cases. You can goto app settings for the OneDrive app and clear defaults. Please also update the OneDrive app and let us know if this helps resolve the issue.
Thanks,
AJ I have overlooked your reply. Yes, when I click document library it shows option to sync or open in One Drive.
IT seems like it has something to do with maybe the fact this is a communication site and not a team site. The team sites seem to open in Sharepoint. Is this just a bug?
