Hello everyone, I am part of an organization and have created two SharePoint sites: one site for all members one site only for the board External guests have been added to both sites. Problem: Several of these guests would like to use the OneDrive app (desktop or mobile) to access the shared content. This is where I am stuck. Situation in detail: Some guests do not have a Microsoft account, others have created one themselves The SharePoint sites and documents are shared correctly, and access works via the browser In the OneDrive app, however, guests do not see any content Nothing appears under “Shared” The SharePoint sites are not visible Questions: How are external guests supposed to see SharePoint documents in the OneDrive app? Do guests have to have a Microsoft account, or is an email-invited guest sufficient? Is there an official or recommended approach for enabling guests to use OneDrive/SharePoint meaningfully via the app? Or is the OneDrive app simply not intended for external guests? Additional question: Is it officially supported or expected that guests can only access SharePoint content via a web browser (on PC and mobile) and not via the OneDrive app at all? I find a lot of contradictory information on this topic, and it has cost me quite a bit of nerves by now. Thank you very much for any explanation or best practice.

I have a canvas app that works on the basis of a SharePoint list. I work in an environment where a researcher makes a work order, this is then sent to the responsible that has to approve it, then the planner plans it and following that, it is executed. This chain of events is all managed with a SharePoint list that has a status that can be changed. Different people have different permissions to edit items. To manage this, we display the list through a CanvasApp where logic is built to ensure that people with a certain role can only select/edit/see certain items. However, a big part of the canvas app is the description of the work order. In the SP-list this is a multi-line field where RichText is enabled. When the work order description is long, and especially when rich text formatting is used (for example colored text), part of the content is displayed incorrectly. The text gets cut off, part of the HTML formatting code appears in the description itself, and the full content is no longer shown. This is an example of a list item: Which is displayed in the Canvas App like this: What I observed is the following: In the normal SharePoint list view, the description is displayed correctly. But when I click/open the item in singe item view itself in SharePoint, the editor/form also . This issue only occurs for items that are created from the Canvas App. If I create a similar item directly in SharePoint and enter a comparable formatted description there, the problem does not occur. So it seems the issue is related to how the Canvas App saves the rich text content to SharePoint. It must have to do something with the way PowerAutomate parses that HTML code into SP.80Views0likes0CommentsSharePoint List Migration to new Tenant
Hi All, I am preparing for a tenant-to-tenant migration of 60+ SharePoint lists that function as the back-end for various PowerApps. Since we are doing a staggered cutover, I need to perform an initial migration now and then run 'Delta' syncs over the next few weeks to catch new records, updates, and deletes. My primary challenge is that SharePoint's native ID column is not preserved during manual migrations (PowerShell/CSV), which will break our App logic and Lookups. How have others handled cross-tenant list synchronization at this scale? Specifically: How do you maintain record relationships and deep links when the system IDs change? What is the most efficient way to handle deltas across 60 lists without buying expensive 3rd-party migration tools? thanks, Jake158Views0likes1CommentUnable to filter embedded list
OMG- could they f up sharepoint any more. It used to be such a powerful tool. It is harder than ever now. So- embed a lits in a page with a list part. I am showing controls and on default view-no search. there is now also NO FILTER PART so i go to github patterns and practices to download. Butttttt, I can't upload because while I am global admin, I am not sharepoint admin and cannot change my permissions. Create second admin account with all permissions. Tr to update my normal account permissions, and it says "you do not have permission to save." SO- do you know any other way to get a search of a list on a page? And - any thoughts on my permissions hell?166Views0likes1CommentIntegrated - PowerApps Customized Form - not working
Hi, The Power App customised form is not being retrieved. When the user selects the 'Add new item' button a customised form should open, but getting this pop up. Does anyone know if there are any issues with SharePoint Online and this will hopefully resolve itself or any other potential solution as to why this is occurring. It was working yesterday287Views0likes4CommentsAdd items Permission level
Hi, I'd like to know a way to set permissions on a list so that users in the SharePoint site - Members group can't see existing items in the list that don't have unique permissions assigned. They can only add new items in this list. Once an item is created, a workflow would be triggered that would add a unique permission only for that item. The problem is that when creating a Permission Level with only the ability to add items, the user loses access to the custom item creation form.258Views0likes3CommentsBest Practice guide for stretched HA farm?
Hi, Im planning a SharePoint Subscription farm over 2 data centers. Should be pretty simple. Farm will consist of: dc 1: 1 spfe, 1 spapp, 1 sql dc 2: 1 spfe, 1 spapp, 1 sql Sql servers will be AlwaysOn. Im not sure how to set up the sp servers. Is there a preferred way to set it up, with how to? Our domains have 10gb connections so should be more than sufficient for stretched and HA. Can CA site be hosted from multiple servers? How are IPs/DNS/certs handled? What else do I need to get my head around? Thanks. Swan70Views0likes0Comments- 191Views0likes1Comment
