There are certain files that are shared with me in SharePoint. I have the editable rights for these files.I need to access these files in tableau. So I am trying to create a shortcut of these files so that the shared files are accessible through "My Files" folder in Tableau. I am referring to this Microsoft link but i am not getting the option "Add shortcut to OneDrive". https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-and-sync-shared-folders-to-onedrive-8a63cd47-1526-4cd8-bd09-ee3f9bfc1504?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us Can someone please help and advise what is wrong here.58KViews1like22CommentsDisable Creation of Shared Libraries
Hello, I am in the process of rolling out SharePoint Online and OneDrive for our organization. I do not want end users to have the ability to create new SharePoint sites. I have disabled this within the SharePoint admin console, however users can still create Shared Libraries from their OneDrive accounts which in turn creates a new SharePoint site. My question is, as an Administrator is there the ability to disable this button from appearing on peoples OneDrive accounts? Thanks, Tony13KViews0likes8CommentsHow can I automatically add a SharePoint shortcut to OneDrive as I add members?
Hi, I'm creating Communication Sites to restructure the file-share system, and I'd like to whenever I add members to a SharePoint site to have it as a shortcut on their OneDrive automatically for them. Can it be done via GPO or PowerShell or SharePoint interface? Thank you.7.3KViews0likes6CommentsRemove non-functional Shared Libraries in OneDrive when Sites have been deleted
Hey Community We have some libraries that were shared quite some time back and appear in users OneDrive Shared library lists. The sites that hosted these libraries have been deleted however the entries remain. When selected they produce a very un-useful error (see below). Does anyone have a way to remove non-functional shared library entries from the OneDrive Shared Library lists? Thanks in advance.6.2KViews0likes2CommentsGranting access to folders for Mac
Hi. I am trying to sync a SharePoint library to my mac, but am running into the problem of OneDrive needing permissions on my folders to work. When I set up OneDrive for Business on my mac, this was handled through a grant-permission dialog, but I am getting no such option when trying to sync the SharePoint library. Any suggestions on how to get past this will be welcomed. Thanks Geoff6KViews1like1CommentOneDrive showing incorrect user
Hi all, When I edit a shared document through OneDrive (or Teams or Sharepoint) through the web, it correctly shows those edits as being attributable to me. However, if I open that document on my local machine, the edits are being attributed to another user. I am collaborating as an invited guest (invited through Azure AD) using B2B collaboration (I think). I am by no means an experienced or advanced 365 / Azure / Sharepoint administrator. A more detailed background (I hope is not too confusing): My local machine is a Mac. I have a 365 Business Std subscription for my own organisation (Org A) and I'm the global admin (Org A Admin). I work with a different business (Org B).As I'm the most knowledgable person at Org B when it comes to MS365, I help them manage their own 365 subscriptions (a combination of 365 Bus Std and Exchange Online P1).I have access to the global admin account for Org B (Org B Admin). I have recently begun to introduce Org B to Teams so that we can collaborate on certain projects using Teams and Sharepoint. To do this, as Org B Admin,I created a Team under Org B(call it Team B). I then invited Org A Admin to Team B as this is my day-to-day work account. I sent this invite from within Team B while logged in as Org B Admin. For a while, I collaborated this way successfully as Org A Admin. I then decided to 'upgrade the collaboration' by setting up B2B collaboration between Org A and Org B.I made the necessary changes to the incoming/outgoing collaboration settings for both organisations. I deleted my existing external user at Org B and reinvited myself as a guest through Azure AD at Org B (tyrone@OrgA) I collaborated this way for a while using Teams. I edited documents through Teams - sometimes through the Teams interface but also by synchronising files to my local machine using OneDrive. Any edits I made were always shown as originating from my Org A account, i.e. tyrone@OrgA. I was able to move between Org A and Org B in Teams without any problems. When I opened Teams on my local machine, I could move between Org A and Org B in the top right of the app. Two instances of OneDrive opened when I logged in to my machine - one synchronised Org A files and the other synchronised Org B files. From yesterday, when I edit a document in Team B on my local machine, the edits I make show as being done by Org B Admin andnot tyrone@OrgA. However, when I make edits through the Teams interface, these edits are correctly shown as being made by tyrone@OrgA. It appears as though my guest account at Team B(tyrone@OrgA) is being confused with Org B Admin. I've tried everything I can think of to fix this: I logged out of all my local Office applications (including OneDrive and Teams) I deleted and reinstalled all the Office applications (including OneDrive and Teams) I deleted all local caches, plist files, etc. I deleted my guest account at Org B and ensured that my user account was also deleted from Team B. I logged back into to local Office apps, Teams and OneDrive using my Org A credentials and all is working fine. I invited myself back to Org B using the Azure AD interface as a guest. I added myself back to Team B (using the Teams admin interface under Org B). I then navigated to Team B through my local machine (where I'm logged in to the Office apps as Org A Admin), edited the file locally, and again my edits were attributed to Team B Admin. Same thing happened if navigating to the Team through the Teams online interface. Any help to fix this would be appreciated. Thank you. 🙏Solved5.8KViews0likes4CommentsProblem in Quick Access SharePoint Sites - default library not found
Hi 🙂 a week ago wenoticed a problem when trying to access SharePoint Document Libraries over the quick assess bar in the OneDrive Web Application. It says that there is a problem "no default document library was found". This problem only occur when the SharePoint Site do not have a library called "documents". Any Site with a library called"documents" is working correct over thequick assess menue. We would prefer to see an overview over all assigned document libraries to a site, when using the quick assess menue! Does any other seeing this issue? Thanks a lot for help Michael5.4KViews0likes3CommentsCannot delete local folder for previously synced SharePoint location
I've got a Mac running MacOS 12.5 and OneDrive sync client version 22.151.0717.0001. OneDrive syncing is working fine, and syncing SharePoint libraries or folders works as well. However, when I STOP syncing a SharePoint location, the shortcut to that location seems to persist in Finder with no way to delete it. When I right/command click the shortcuts, there's no "Move to trash" option. Dragging to the trash does nothing (shows a "do not enter" icon in the trash window). I've quit/restarted OneDrive and tried restarting the computer. The only way to get rid of them is to "reset" OneDrive, which ALSO resets my OneDrive content sync (business and personal), so that's not a practical option for what may be a common practice (stopping syncing and cleaning up). Is there some additional permission or setting that needs to be enabled to delete these "left behind" folders?4.5KViews0likes4CommentsLong path names with OneDrive on Windows 10 Pro
Hi We are having some issues out sync'ed Sharepoint libraries on Windows 10. We have been moving from the users own OneDrives to a group based structure. Among other things, this means that I now I quite a lot of files what exceed 260 characters when I sync the library to Windows 10 with OneDrive. I see all documents in Explorer, and on my Pc I have even set all to be synced to my computer, so the status icon is solid green. But when I try to open it in word it fails. I have tried to enable long paths in a local group policy, but it does not seem, to have any effect.3.7KViews0likes1Comment
