Impossible to open Autocad files using desktop instead of Web App in SharePoint Online doc library?
We are now running SharePoint Online (SPO). Our company has decided to get rid of a shared network file storage and move our Autocad files over to (SPO). I hit a bit of a snag with non-MS applications while trying to open them through the browser. We have AutoCAD files in our document library. When users try and click on it, it automatically tries and open it thorough Autodesk web app, which we never have. Is this already built-in for SPO? Why does it give me that option? I have activated the setting for the site to open using client application instead of the browser through the site collection settings and also the same in the document library settings advanced settings. I believe it only OPENS Microsoft based applications if we turn this on and not any other applications, correct? My questions are: Why did SPO show us the autodesk wep app option? Is it by default built into share point? How or why did that appear? Is the "open with client applications" only work for Microsoft products and nothing else like acrobat pdf, autocad, or other programs installed on the users computer? For example, if we have an application called ABC and creates a file with an extension .123 and we try and click in it we n share point, would it not show or gives us the option to “open with” ABC application on the user’s desktop? For example an autocad (.dwg) or acrobat (.pdf) or photoshop (.psd) or illustrator (.eps), etc... file via the web browser, won't open their desktop apps, correct? So how I can I make it open automatically using the desktop application and NOT the web app stored on the sharepoint online document library then like the ones I listed above if these applications were installed on that desktop? Can this be done or does the library have to be sync'd for it to work first? if sync'd to our personal one drive or organizational onedrive? How can we have users just click on an AutoCAD file, .dwg in SharePoint and have AutoCAD automatically open via the browser? Same with say a .pdf file via the browser? Or do we have to sync it and then open the file that way via file explorer and it will automatically open and use Autocad similar to that of a regular or network drive? The sync is soooo unbearably and unacceptably slow unlike Dropbox. Any suggestions? or impossible to use with Autocad desktop with SharePoint Online document library?Change Working Folder in Migration Manager agent to a mapped drive cannot be done?
Hello there. I have a mapped drive that has about 10 TB of free space and want to use that as working folder. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/sharepointmigration/mm-setup-clients?WT.mc_id=365AdminCSH_spo#working-folder But when I entered that drive, say X:\ it says it is not a valid drive. Working folder C:\Users\root_smith\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SPMigration\Logs Edit Working folder path For example: C:\Documents\Logs Validate Storage drive does not exist. Enter an existing drive. Does it have to be a non-mapped drive to work? Thank you4.3KViews0likes2CommentsO365 SPOnline - How do I make a copy of site and update content for both using one site.
Hello folks. We a private department sharepoint online site with our projects, complete with web parts connected with an MS Project data which syncs to display data on our sharepoint online platform rendered as diagrams/chards, etc. The site also has web parts. Now we want to take just that first page content and have it accessed by others in our organization not just in our department. How do we do that and at the same time, if we update the data from within the private department site, the changes would also be reflected in the organizational site? How do we create the organizational site copied from the private department site? Thank you.669Views0likes0Comments
