Impossible to open Autocad files using desktop instead of Web App in SharePoint Online doc library?
We are now running SharePoint Online (SPO). Our company has decided to get rid of a shared network file storage and move our Autocad files over to (SPO). I hit a bit of a snag with non-MS applications while trying to open them through the browser. We have AutoCAD files in our document library. When users try and click on it, it automatically tries and open it thorough Autodesk web app, which we never have. Is this already built-in for SPO? Why does it give me that option? I have activated the setting for the site to open using client application instead of the browser through the site collection settings and also the same in the document library settings advanced settings. I believe it only OPENS Microsoft based applications if we turn this on and not any other applications, correct? My questions are: Why did SPO show us the autodesk wep app option? Is it by default built into share point? How or why did that appear? Is the "open with client applications" only work for Microsoft products and nothing else like acrobat pdf, autocad, or other programs installed on the users computer? For example, if we have an application called ABC and creates a file with an extension .123 and we try and click in it we n share point, would it not show or gives us the option to “open with” ABC application on the user’s desktop? For example an autocad (.dwg) or acrobat (.pdf) or photoshop (.psd) or illustrator (.eps), etc... file via the web browser, won't open their desktop apps, correct? So how I can I make it open automatically using the desktop application and NOT the web app stored on the sharepoint online document library then like the ones I listed above if these applications were installed on that desktop? Can this be done or does the library have to be sync'd for it to work first? if sync'd to our personal one drive or organizational onedrive? How can we have users just click on an AutoCAD file, .dwg in SharePoint and have AutoCAD automatically open via the browser? Same with say a .pdf file via the browser? Or do we have to sync it and then open the file that way via file explorer and it will automatically open and use Autocad similar to that of a regular or network drive? The sync is soooo unbearably and unacceptably slow unlike Dropbox. Any suggestions? or impossible to use with Autocad desktop with SharePoint Online document library?
User property mappings between local AD, Azure AD and SharePoint Online?
I'm having trouble finding out property mappings from local AD via Azure AD landing in the SharePoint Online User Profile Service. For example, how would I track down what the equivalent property of the SharePoint Online User Profile Service property "People:SPS-Location" is in Azure AD as well as local AD? We're using Azure AD Connect to sync user objects to Azure AD which in turn get picked up by the SharePoint Online User Profile service. Thanks for your advice.
