Shipped to First Release: Discovering the SharePoint mobile apps
How will this integrate with Intune MAM policies?
Will these actions show up in the security center audit logs?
This also goes for the web copy to functionality. None of our site libraries except default out of the box ones can be found.
Third party apps appear to have no problem with finding these. So it must be possible.
Thanks

Hi Philip.. can you provide a bit more info about the issues you are seeing? The steps you take to reproduce the issue, plus screenshots would be great.
Thanks!
NateI'm away from my office for the next few days. Howeverer here is the process I have been through.
I open up a site created by our standard template I can see all the libraries etc and work with them as normal.
I go to the Sharepoint app on my device find the same site none of the libraries appear
I see the activity feed and files views are populated.
If I go under lists I see only one item which is tasks.
Under Sitenavigation I see all the site structure as expected
If I navigate into any library I get No data available,something went wrong.
Now if I flip back to lists, that library will appear on the list then disappear
If I then go back to the site. Create an out of the box library. Populate it with some content.
Go back to the app. Navigate to the site, open the site navigation, open the new library and everything works as expected.
I am seeing similar behaviour with the copy to function in the OneDrive for Business web interface. The libraries their simply do not show up unless they were out of the box created libraries.
Our Developer tells me that minimal changes were done to modify the libraries. Added a few content types and set versioning levels. These were done back on 2013 Sharepoint before we migrated to Sharepoint online.
I tried a few things like matching the settings of an out of the box library on our templated libraries and vice versa and still the same result.
I had a look through the objects using the Sharepoint browser tool https://spcb.codeplex.com/
It showed our libraries were of a different type name of the standard and were of an id in the range of 8000 where stadnard document libraries are type 101
Sorry no screen shot available at the moment.
Try to add the library to the quicklaunch navigation by opening the Library settings -> Title, description navigation -> Display this document library on the Quick Launch -> Yes.
Adding the library to the navigation by manually adding it as a link to the quicklaunch doesn't work. I believe if you add it using the library settings, it works :-)
I think if you do it like this, the library is visible in the SharePoint Online mobile app, and also on the Copy-To functionality from OneDrive for Business. But please let me know if this works.
Thanks for the feedback Philip. I'm adding Nate Clinton and LincolnDeMaris who own the mobile apps and document libraries. They'll be able to share more details on your ask.
- Thanks
