SharePoint sync issues when opening from File Explorer
Hi there, Some users in my company are having issues with files not syncing with SharePoint when they save them and are also unable to concurrently edit files. They open the files via File Explorer and the 'autosave' functionality is disabled. Enabling autosave prompts them to save as a new copy. These users have recently switched to a new laptop running Windows 11 (previous laptop was Windows 10) and had no sync issues when using the old laptop. If the user first opens Excel/Word and then uses the File menu to open the document then the autosave is enabled and the file syncs with SharePoint. Here are some of the troubleshooting steps I've tried: stopping the sync and starting it again unlinking the pc and re-syncing the SharePoint site uninstalling and re-installing OneDrive Has anyone come across this issue or know of a fix that I haven't tried yet? Regards, Steve
restrict external services using assigned\delegated api permissions to single files
I have an ongoing issue where my customers want to use external services to perform tasks, but those services require access to SharePoint. Of course the complete security non minded service providers say they need sites.readwrite.all permissions. I'm not going to give them access to read and write every single one of my internal SharePoint sites when they only need access to one file. Ridiculous in this day and age with so many data breaches happening. Now i have used the sites.selected to some success to limit this but it's still all the site. How can I get this down to file or folder level within a site? Has to be something we can do.How SharePoint Online Restricted Content Discovery Works
Restricted Content Discovery (RCD) is a solution to prevent AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot and agents accessing files stored in specific sites. RCD works by setting a flag in the index to stop Copilot attempting to use files. RCD is available to all tenants with Microsoft 365 Copilot and it’s an excellent method to stop Copilot finding and reusing confidential or sensitive information. https://office365itpros.com/2025/04/02/restricted-content-discovery-works/Effortless Time Tracking in Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot
How do you stay in the flow of work when tasks move across Teams, Outlook and now M365 Copilot? Many of us already collaborate and manage our day in these Microsoft 365 tools, but logging time often feels like something separate that interrupts our focus. With https://www.klynke.com/ time tracking stays right where your work happens. It runs inside Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot, creating one consistent and natural experience for logging hours without leaving your workflow. We shared more in our blog: https://www.klynke.com/post/log-time-in-teams-outlook-copilot, and were grateful that Microsoft featured our story in a Tech Community interview: Building Secure SaaS on Microsoft Cloud.

Unified Company Calendar for Mixed Microsoft 365 and Non-365 Users – 2025
Seeking a Shared Calendar Solution for Mixed Microsoft 365 and Non-365 Users I’m working on a solution to create a shared company calendar that everyone in our organization can view, while keeping editing permissions limited to a few selected individuals. The challenge: Some of our team members do not use Microsoft 365, and I’d like them to still be able to subscribe to or view the calendar and receive updates. Ideally, this should work without requiring full Microsoft accounts. I initially considered using an ICS-based calendar, but it seems Microsoft 365 Group calendars don’t support sharing via ICS links. I also explored creating a Group calendar as suggested in other threads, but ran into issues making it accessible to external users or those without 365 accounts. For context, I’m a Global Admin, so I have full access to configure settings in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and Exchange if needed. We’re a small business, and our main goal is to have a centralized calendar for vacation schedules and company-wide events. It should be simple to access and maintain, with a focus on collaboration and accessibility across the board. What I’m looking for: A calendar that’s viewable by all, including non-M365 users Editable only by a few delegated team members Compatible with Microsoft 365, but not dependent on it for basic access Any tools, workarounds, or best practices that have worked for others in similar hybrid environmentsGetting Started with SharePoint Online for Collaboration
In today’s fast-paced world of hybrid work and remote teams, organizations need reliable platforms that promote communication, transparency, and productivity. SharePoint Online, the cloud-based version of Microsoft’s SharePoint platform, is one of the most powerful tools for this purpose. It enables teams to create centralized spaces for file sharing, project management, document collaboration, and intranet communication. In this guide, we’ll explore how to get started with SharePoint Online for collaboration — from understanding its core benefits to setting up your first team site, managing permissions, and adopting best practices to ensure long-term success. https://dellenny.com/getting-started-with-sharepoint-online-for-collaboration/Using the SharePoint Site Attestation Policy
The site attestation policy is designed to require site owners to make a positive statement that the settings of their site, including its current membership, are accurate. The idea is that requiring site owners to attest that their site is still needed will force people to decide whether sites are still in active use and should be kept online. If not, the policy can move the sites into Microsoft 365 Archive. https://office365itpros.com/2025/10/30/site-attestation-policy/Leveraging SharePoint for Performance Tracking Monitoring Team and Project Progress
SharePoint is more than a document management system; it’s a comprehensive platform that facilitates real-time tracking and collaboration. Here’s why it excels in performance tracking: https://dellenny.com/leveraging-sharepoint-for-performance-tracking-monitoring-team-and-project-progress/
Office 365 Business Premium + GoDaddy Hosting
Hi, Does office 365 + godaddy give you office 365 app hosting? I was hoping to have a public sharepoint, delve, and yammer website connected to different subdomains e.g. http://www.mydomain.com, blog.mydomain.com, social.mydomain.com etc. What apps on office 365 are linked to godaddy hosting? Or is it just completely separate hosting that has no link to office 365 apps and just bundles email support? Also what is the discount offered to office 365 subscribers on godaddy? Ideally I would to have Windows unlimited website hosting. Thanks, Jebb
Compliance licenses at tenant level
Hi, We are a small organization of about 200 employees, and we have following requirements. DLP policies configuration at Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint BYOD security Users should not be able to send files outside the org And so on as we evaluate We already have M365 Business Premium. However, after researching we figured out that M365 Business premium will alone not solve our requirements. May be compliance license will. We want to apply security policies at tenant level in our organization but definitely do not want every user to get licenses as this will be expensive for us and there is no requirement at all for our users. The question is, Is there a way to solve the above scenario?
