Adding Office 365 Exchange Active Sync Account to Android Native Email, Calendar and Contacts Apps
Adding Office 365 Exchange Active Sync Account to Android Native Email, Calendar and Contacts Apps If you are using two-factor authentication in Office 365 (AKA multi-factor authentication) you MUST use an App Password instead of your Office 365 Login Password when creating your Exchange Active Sync account on an Android device. See the following link to learn how to create an App Password: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-an-app-password-for-Office-365-3e7c860f-bda4-4441-a618-b53953ee1183 If you don't use an App password during the setup, you will get the following message: Can't set up account. Authentication failed. As an aside, your domain\user entry should read: \yourusername@contoso.onmicrosoft.com or \yourusername@yourdomain.com Your server name should be: outlook.office365.comNew web parts for your modern communications in SharePoint Online
The SharePoint team is excited to announce we're adding three new web parts to the toolbox when creating team news articles and modern pages: Image gallery Bing maps Quick charts These new web parts are rolling out to First Release customers now… Note: only tenants that have First Release (FR) set to on for the entire tenant will see these features. Per user first release flighting is not applicable when creating new content that could be seen/viewed by non FR enabled users. What are modern pages you ask? “Modern team site pages are fast, easy to author and support rich multimedia content. And pages look great on any device, in a browser or from within the SharePoint app. Using pages is a great way to communicate and share your ideas—such as status and trip reports, how-to write-ups, know-before-you-go guides and frequently asked questions.” - from our blog post last year. Image gallery The Image gallery web part lets you share collections of pictures on a page. Simply select your images with the file picker, or drag them on to the web part. Once you’ve built your collection, you can reorder them with drag and drop as well. We support two beautiful layouts today: Tiles layout Mobile Larger screens Carousel layout Mobile Larger screens You can also add additional information about each image such as: Image title Image description Alternative text Looking forward, we will be listening to customer feedback and adding more layouts and features that highlight your images beautifully on pages. Bing maps This web part makes it easy to add a map to your page. Simply enter an address or a well-known location name, and your map dynamically appears. If you want to pick a different map type, you can of course do that... as well as change the zoom level, label your map pin with a friendly name, etc. Mobile Larger screens Depending upon your location, Bing maps may not support some map styles (e.g. Streetside view isn't available everywhere). Quick charts The Quick chart web part allows you to easily visualize simple data on your page. Enter your data points with labels, pick your chart type, and publish. We support two chart types today: Column Mobile Larger screens Pie Mobile Larger screens We have a lot more web parts in the works, some of which you can see highlighted in this session “Discover the new SharePoint content publishing experiences” (link jumps right to web part section); from #MSIgnite. As always, let us know what you think, and where we should invest more time. Thanks, The SharePoint TeamEdge on Android isn't available for opening PDFs

I'd like the same features we have on desktop, Mac, Linux to be available on Android and IOS too. if you want the same, please send a feedback through Edge browser about this. thank you
Move and Copy of Files in OneDrive App for IOS in connection with Shared Libraries
Hello, I would like to recommend some additional functionality for the OneDrive IOS app. If we work with OneDrive in connection with Teams or SharePoint, we have to use SharePoint shared libraries to access files. OneDrive is missing some important functionality to handle files in this use case, esp. features to copy or move files are missing. IOS is missing a good file manager as well. The built in Files app relies on 3rd party apps when it comes to cloud storage. That means, it will communicate with i.e OneDrive app to handle files in the cloud. And it only can do what OneDrive app offers. So I would like to see copy and move functionality in the context menu of OneDrive IOS app when I work with shared libraries. As a workaround we can use the web version of OneDrive. But that means a lot of context switching. The usability is not good any longer. In my opinion, if the functionality is missing, working mobile or on the go with the app turns useless.OneDrive Message Center Updates July 16th-July 31st
We are excited to announce these updates to the OneDrive service this month. We’ll be releasing some great improvements to the OneDrive Android apps and we’ve reorganized our documentation to make it easier for you to find answers and stay on top of things. We also have an update to our previously announced versioning experience based on your feedback.
