How to grant access to SharePoint subsite with no Owners
Hello! Can someone advise how I can add a user to a SharePoint site with no Owners/Members or Admins? It is a Classic SharePoint subsite so I cannot modify any settings using the SharePoint Admin Centre so I need to find a script or a method of some sort to allow me to add a user account to the site to then be able to review it/decommission it etc.? TIA!
Download and Access Issues for External Users with SharePoint “Anyone” link sharing option.
Hi All, We are looking for help resolving a recurring issue with file sharing in SharePoint. All files and folders we share with external customers use the “Anyone” sharing link option (Anyone with the link can access). Despite this, we regularly face these problems: Customers can view files but cannot always download them from the browser (for example, using the "Create a Copy”, “Download a Copy" or "Save as" option in the PowerPoint files). Sometimes, sharing the parent folder (containing the file) link allows the external user to download, even though the file link itself does not. The problem is intermittent and not linked to settings or policies—sometimes everything works, sometimes it does not, even when we generate new links. No restrictive site, library, or organizational policies are applied; “Block download” is not set and full link access is confirmed. Using a private/incognito tab sometimes enables the link to work when it otherwise fails in a normal browser session, but not always. We want to understand why this happens and whether there is an underlying issue, known bug, or additional configuration we should review that could make “Anyone” links unpredictable for downloads with external users. Has anyone else experienced similar issues? If so, how did you resolve it, or are you still searching for answers? We’d really appreciate hearing your experiences and suggestions! Thank you for your advice and support!
Can't get OneDrive with all my data on new computer
I bought a new laptop recently and have been working to set it up with everything my old computer has. I love my old laptop, but it is five years old and I worry about failure and losing everything. Because of that fear, I have used OneDrive heavily. Anyway, when there was a pre-BlackFriday sale, I purchased a new laptop. I got OneNote to come over with my folders, but I can't get the OneDrive synced. I have researched online and have tried sharing and other suggestions, and nothing works. How can I get my new computer to use the same OneDrive?
Tables in Word Docs Stored on SharePoint Breaking
Custom Table Styles are breaking in Word documents stored on SharePoint. This started a week ago after a recent Office update. A solution of having only one person editing the document at a time defeats the purpose of SharePoint collaboration. Always editing in the desktop app is not a reliable solution either; not all tools are available in the browser. Tables break and fix themselves without intervention - sometimes in the desktop app and sometimes in the browser. Any insight is appreciated.
Move files from Account A to Account B 165 GB data
I’ve been using Microsoft Office 365 Family for several years, sharing it with my family members. We have 6 accounts, each with 1 TB of storage. One of my accounts has now reached 985 GB, so I need to transfer files from Account A (my account) to Account B (my wife’s account). These files mainly consist of photos and videos — over 200,000 files in total. I tried transferring a 6 GB wedding shoot (.ISO format), but it took more than an hour. Re-downloading and uploading all the data isn’t feasible as my internet connectivity is limited to 100 mbps only. I’m looking for the best and most efficient way to move these files directly between OneDrive accounts.
Automation for downloading an Excel file from SharePoint using the Microsoft 365 Cloud SDK
Hello, I’m working on an automation in SAP Build Process Automation using the Microsoft 365 Cloud SDK. The automation is designed to automatically download an Excel file uploaded to SharePoint and send it by email to a list of recipients every day. I am using to this the following tutorial: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/spa-office-integration-agent..html The automation from the tutorial works, but I’d like to customize it a bit - for example, to make sure it always downloads the most recent Excel file if there are multiple files on the SharePoint site. However, I’m not sure how to adjust some of the parameters. I haven't found any other tutorials for that. I haven’t been able to find any other tutorials covering this scenario. I started with the activity Get Remote File Information, but I am not sure if it is a right direction. I don't know also how I should fill the field Output Paramters, if the activity is correct. Could anyone please help or point me in the right direction?
Export list of users with unique permissions
Hello community, The context: We have a document library with 30 000 items. We broke inheritance and set up special permissions for some of them. Now we have about 30 items with special permissions that can be listed in Sharepoint Online. See the picture below. What we want: We want to get list of user on each item now. How can we do that? The output should look like this item1 - user 1 item1 - user 2 item1 - user 3 item1 - group 1 item1 - group 2 item 2 - user 1 item 2 - user 5 ... The idea We will write powershell script But can we identify items with special permissions the same way Sharepoint does it in the picture? How? How to use the API correctly because we cannot list each item (30k) in Sharepoint for performace reasons right? Related topics maybe?

Hi team I've got a couple of devices that are syncing less then 300,000 items. A couple of times a month OneDrive just stops syncing and won't start until its reset. Just to clarify OneDrive is still running, it just doesn't sync anything and the OneDrive status icons in File Explorer disappear Reset OneDrive resolves the issue but its frustrating as some of the files are shared with other people and I don't see their updates. Pause OneDrive and restart it doesn't do anything I have 100gb free on one device, 66gb on another and 50gb on the third No shortcuts are syncing Onedrive metered network option is turned off Updated to 25.184.0921.0004 No bandwidth limits applied Has anyone else had this experience? If so what did you do for a solution? Any assistance is appreciatedAccidentally deleted ALL of my files
I was under the impression that I was saving all of my files locally. I occasionally accidentally save something in OneDrive, and would leave it there, but most things were going into Documents, Pictures, etc. I have a different OneDrive path on my computer that I could see when I saved documents in Word. Today I decided it was annoying to keep accidentally saving in the wrong place, so I deleted OneDrive. There were way too many files for the Recycle Bin, so it was a hard delete. To my shock, all of my folders vanished. It turns out Documents, Videos, etc, were all in OneDrive. The problem is that when I go online and sign into my onedrive, I only see the files that I would occasionally accidentally save there, and those have not been deleteed. The bulk of my files, the ones from my local computer, are not there. I tried resetting to yesterday and it looks exactly the same. Any idea where those files were saved/are now? Are they recoverable or am I epically screwed?OneDrive - Mass File Deletion by OneDrive
I noticed in late July/early August that files in my OneDrive folders suddenly vanished. More than 25 years' worth data gone. Close to 300 GB of both personal and business data. Only the files were gone. The folders and file structure remained untouched. My OneDrive space is 2 TB. The Recycle Bin was empty. My OneDrive account has been active since OneDrive started and remains so without interruption. Through the forum community I learned that I am not alone with my frustrations. Microsoft Support scheduled a telephone call. The gentleman who called was rude. He said the only way files were deleted was by the user (i.e., me). That suggestion is ridiculous as it suggests I went into hundreds of individual folders and subfolders to delete files but leave the folder structure intact. The gentleman said there was no way OneDrive or Microsoft could cause that to happen. News flash. It wasn't just me. I later submitted a request for assistance by messaging OneDrive Support asking my issue to be escalated to the OneDrive Engineering Team for a One-Time Data Restoration (OTDR). I'm still waiting for a response or even as much as an acknowledgement of my support request. Does anyone else recognize this issue? What other ideas have others tried that worked to fix the problem? Any ideas on how I get my files back?
