Mapping File Share On Premise to SharePoint
I have a file server on On Premise (not published internet), currently the file server is mapped on the user's laptop file explorer so that users can access data when inside the office network. Users need to use VPN to access data on the file server when outside the office network. My question is, can the file server data be mapped into SharePoint? Please advice, thank you.
Better way to view employees' schedules?
Howdy, y'all. I've just been hired into a new office, and as the only member of Gen Z to be employed, I've been summarily appointed to the media committee, which includes thinking through the ways that we communicate with one another effectively. The issue that's driving me up a wall at the moment is our calendar management. We have an Excel sheet saved as a tab within one of our Teams channels that lists every employee's status in the office for every day of the year. This is helpful for a couple of reasons: We work in healthcare and must have one person on-call at all times. There are two on-call shifts per day; one from 8 AM to 8 PM, and one from 8 PM to 8 AM. There must be a minimum number of staff people working during regular weekdays (that is, aside from the on-call staffer, we must also be able to see that there are at least a couple people aside from the on-call person who are in the office during a regular week, so that the office isn't completely empty around Christmas and so on). For this, we usually look at the row for the day of the month and the column for the employee's name, with the intersecting cell being filled in with the time of their shift. In addition to the two on-call shifts per day, one person will be designated as "substitute" for one 24-hour period. If either the AM or PM on-call person call out, the substitute will clock in to replace them. Further, there is a staffer who is designated as the support member for an entire week's time. Should the on-call person have questions or concerns, the support member will be able to answer their call at any time during the week. We typically have it color-coded so we know by taking a glance at the day who is on AM, who is on PM, who is substituting, and who is backup. This is an example: Staff A Staff B Staff C Staff D Staff E Staff F Staff G Friday 8/1 8a-8p 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p 8p-8a 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p Saturday 8/2 OFF 8a-8p 8p-8a OFF OFF OFF OFF Sunday 8/3 8p-8a OFF OFF 8a-8p OFF OFF OFF Monday 8/4 OFF 8p-8a 8a-4:30p OFF 8a-8p 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p Tuesday 8/5 8a-8p OFF OFF 8p-8a 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p Wednesday 8/6 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p 8p-8a OFF 8a-8p 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p KEY: AM on-call PM on-call Substitute Support Obviously, this way of keeping track of things is archaic and has led to chaos. Is there a better way somewhere in Teams/Outlook/SharePoint calendar, or in some other application that can connect to this workspace? We run basically everything in our department out of TeamsSharePoint/Word: Change in permissions turns off autosave.
Hi, We have the following issue: In a SharePoint, to which users get access based on access groups, users have Edit access to Word docs by default. When the user opens the Word file in Word desktop the AutoSave is turned on. When you change to review yourself, AutoSave is also turned on. This works correctly. However, when the permission to the document is changed to Review before sharing and the user the doc is shared with opens it, the AutoSave is turned off when opened in Word desktop. Users are able to choose Edit anyway to continue editing and then the AutoSave turns back on. My question is: is the AutoSave turned off by switching the permission to Review? If so, how can we change that this does not happen. Or is it supposed to work like that? When searching online and in the MS community I cannot find a clear answer on if it supposed to work like this. Some say Review turns the AutoSave off, others say it should not.
Reinstalling Onedrive after crashed HDD?
I had my Onedrive installed on an external HDD but the HDD crashed so I bought a new SSD hard drive to replace the old one. My Onedrive folder was E:\onedrive\onedrive so when I signed in to my one onedrive he prompted for the location of Onedrive. I entered the path and then I got a message saying 'the Onedrive app could not by synchronised. For the moment the Onedrive map could not be added.' My only option is the 'OK' button and then I have a screen that keeps stating 'starting...'. If I look at the bottom right to the onedrive icon I can see that I'm logged in with my account but he doesn't synchronises. I have about 300GB of pictures on the Onedrive so I'm a bit scared to do something wrong what would overwrite or erase the existing files on the cloud. What can I do to solve this problem? Should I chooses a new path for the Onedrive? And if so, how do I reconnect all the files that are on the cloud to the new path? Thanks!
PDF as document content type in document set - no metadata
Hello I have a templates library, each template has DocumentType metadata. I have a document content type called 'Speaker Author Agreement Recording'. It is a PDF. In its advanced settings, it links to the Speaker Author Agreement Recording template in the template library and its metadata. I have a document set called 'Webinar' that includes the Speaker Author Agreement Recording document content type. I include it as Default content and the name of the doc set is added to each file name. When I create a document set in a library, it imports the Speaker Author Agreement Recording template but does not assign its DocumentType. It works for the excel and MS Word documents. It does not work for the PDF document. Can you please tell me how to fix this. Thank you :)
For Retention Policy, if I set Retain + Delete, does it delete the original file/copy/both?
Hello, I am learning about Retention Policy for SharePoint Online and wanted to get a confirmation on this option below. Let's say I chose to retain for 10 years based on when it was created AND said Yes to "Do you want us to delete it after this time?" option. After 10 years, does it delete original files, copies that are generated in Preservation Hold Library, or both? This part was a bit confusing for me lolSharePoint Migration
A few years ago, I created a solution for another department where they could store video files that they download from their security files. The files weren't supposed to stay there long term. They are store in a document library in an Online SharePoint site. Fast forward to today, that department has filled up our SharePoint storage capacity over and over again. We are not able to delete these files, for legal reasons. Storing large video files in a document library is probably not the best use case. I'm looking to migrate these files over to Azure Blob Storage. My question is does anyone have a good solution to move large files and TB's worth of files from a SharePoint document library to Azure Blob Storage? Because they are large files Power Automate is not a good solution because it times out. I'm open to purchasing something if that is the best solution I find. ThanksiOS File Provider: Never getting file updates
In my iOS app, I am using UIDocumentPickerViewController to pick a file from a OnDrive file provider. I am using startAccessingSecurityScopedResource on the url I receive and register an NSFilePresenter for this url to get change notifications. When I read the contents of the file, I am using file coordination. Reading the initial content is working fine. When now however the file is changed on some other machine, I expect a change notification from the file presenter and I should be able to read the fresh data from the updated file. This is however not working. I am only getting fresh data, when I terminate my app and re-pick the file with the UIDocumentPickerViewController. Is this a fundamental limitation of the OneDrive file provider under iOS or is there some secret on how to get fresh data while the app is running?How to Download Video Clip from Microsoft Teams Programmatically
I’m developing a bot app for Microsoft Teams, and part of its functionality involves handling videos recorded using the Teams widget(see screenshot attached). I am receiving a video clip link in the bot app's backend message. Where is this video file uploaded and how can I download the video clip using that link? I have attempted the SSO auth via Entra ID to fetch the auth token and attached it against the GET request to the video clip link as the bearer token. But still getting 401 errors? Need help and guidance in this matter. Thanks.
Add option to change priority of file sync in the OneDrive app
There is no way to prioritise the download or upload of individual files in OneDrive. This is in contrast to Dropbox which has robust prioritisation features. Where this becomes an issue is if you want to download some files as a priority to allow you to continue work. This lacking feature is especially noticeable if you want to download/upload large files, but need smaller files to download/upload to continue working. It's features like this, and the lack of being able to cancel a download of an individual file that makes OneDrive feel half baked, dare I say, amature.
