How external users can upload files in document library hosted in onpremise SharePoint?

Hi all,
We have setup a document library(DL) in SharePoint site hosed on-premise with no direct access from public zone/internet being an intranet solution. We have some external users who need to upload some files that needs to go in this document
library. These files are quite confidential in nature so security is a prime requirement. Following are the couple of options I have in mind:
1. External users upload their file in their designated folder to secure FTP using their own credential set. And also there is a background process (kind of directory watcher) that keep looking at the all the folders
and moves the files to document library
2. We host a single page application which has One time password (OTP) kind of feature. External user comes to the secure site to specify Vendor team name and mobile number. OTP is generated and user is asked to specify the password along with file
they would like to upload. This page also maps the vendor name with respective folder in DL and moves the files to SharePoint there on the fly.
Pls. share your opinion about these approaches. Also welcome your thoughts if there is any other better option.
Thanks.

Hi,
I agree with the Margriet, the first option is simple and safe, the users could not access the document library directly.
For security, it is an importance for users not access the document library directly, it will reduce the risk of the documents in the library.
Thanks,
Jason

  • How to deal with Upload limit of Document Library

    Hi
    We are working on SharePoint Online (Office365). We have a requirement to upload files of 20GB+ size. I have come across a limitation that we can't upload files to document library whose size is more than 2GB. Please provide an clarification on this
    limitation.
    We want our user to upload files up to 20GB. Can we give him an option to upload file using SP Designer. If we can create a folder an user can open site in SPD then they can upload files. Is there any limitation of file size in folder.
    If this is not the feasible option kindly suggest us any other way by which we can fulfill this requirement.
    Regards
    Vikrant Kaushal

    Vikrant,
    Please see the SharePoint Online Boundaries and Limits document
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/sharepoint-online-software-boundaries-and-limits-HA102694293.aspx#_SharePoint_Online_for_2
    The 2Gb file limit is a hard limit that cannot be exceeded in either on-premises or cloud based versions of SharePoint due to a SQL/File system limitation.
    The best bet that you can do is look at using a storage location based in perhaps Azure and then linking to this location from Office 365. Unfortunately you can't use search crawl for none Office 365 locations, so I would think about using a links list to
    surface the large files in SharePoint as a link item, thus making them available to search etc.

  • What is the size and number of documents we can upload to a document library at one time

    HI
    what is the size and number of documents we can upload to a document library at one time.
    like we have scenario , we developed a custom solution to scan and upload documents to sharepoint sites doc library.
    here we face issues when user try to upload 100 documents with the size of each doc 2-3 MB, at one time.
    adil

    Hi Adil,
    The maximum number and size of documents to upload in a document library is determined by a setting in Central administration. You can go to Central administration -> Application Management -> Manage Web Applications -> Select the Web Application
    -> Click on General Settings in the ribbon. Scroll down and you will see "Maximum Upload Size" section. The maximum value that can be set is 2047 MB.

  • Batch uploading to a document library with content types

    Hi,
    I have a document library with two content types. Now I need to upload documents to this document library. However, if I have large number of files, then uploading through web UI is a pain as metadata will not be attached. How should I automate it  from
    my computer using powershell without relying on Administrator to run the powershell script. Or is there any other way to do it without using powershell? or  can powershell be run remotely from an end user computer?
    Note I am using SharePoint 2010.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to butch upload files to document library with content types.
    There are two good tools in CodePlex which can batch upload files with content types, you can have a look at them.
    DocMetaMan : Bulk document Upload and MetaData (Taxonomy) Setter
    SharePoint Multiple File Upload Script
    There are some third-party tools which can achieve the same scenario, you can refer to it.

  • How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    How do one can upload a file (a PDF, doc etc) while filling a web form through chrome or safari? It is possible to upload a photo from the camera role, but other file types can not be uploaded.

    For a variety of reasons, mostly related to security, the iOS operating system limits what can be done with respect to file uploading and downloading. But whenever you encounter a limitation like this always think, "There must be an app for this."
    Check the apps James Ward suggests.

  • Restricting users from uploading files greater than certain size in Kpro

    Hi,
    How can we restric users from uploading files in SAPoffice which are greater than certain size (5MB)?
    Awaiting for reply.

    Hello Gino,
    you go to Tcode DC10, in the define document type,
    there is a option file size, this gives you restriction , only if you are not using KPro and content server.
    If you are using Kpro and content server, then please do the enhancement (SE80, package ,CV)
    With the help of this you can restrict and put the warinig message if your original size is exceed.

  • Is it possible Encrypt files in document library after uploading OOB

    Is it possible Encrypt files in document library after uploading using  OOB?
    if so please share how the above can be achieved.
    V Jean

    hi
    there is no easy OTB mechanism for that. The most closer OTB functionality is Rights Management Services (see
    e.g. Plan Information Rights Management), which seems like can be used for configuring policy for data encryption, like mentioned in the following forum thread:
    How to Encrypt SharePoint data. Also you may use the following methods to make file upload safer:
    1. use https instead of http
    2. use Sharepoint rights system in order to restrict access to the uploaded documents to only allowed persons (e.g. you may use unique permissions on the doclib level or on file level)
    3. if encryption is crucial and you don't want to enable it to all doclibs via RMS, you may use custom solution via event receivers: during file upload it may encypt it by using some standard encryption algorithm (see
    Which built-in .NET cryptography algorithm is the most secure).

  • NMH410 as a external hard drive & upload files through web browser

    Hi,
    I had just installed a NMH410 and has some questions as follow:
    Can NMH410 be used as an external HDD without internet?
    Is there anywhere I can upload files through the web browser?

    1. Can NMH410 be used as an external HDD without internet?
    Yes - The NMH is a local network device, and you can store/retrieve files on it using the computers on your home network using either Windows Explorer, or connecting to it in Linux/MacOS as a Samba share.
    However: The NMH requires an Internet connection to dowload firmware updates, and - If my experiences today are anything to go on - You'll need to have up to date Flash support in your web browser to be able to configure and administrate the thing.
    (See the new thread that I'll be posting in this forum shortly.)
    mosidiot wrote:
    2. Is there anywhere I can upload files through the web browser?
    Yes - The NMH does support uploading via a web browser as long as the latter has a recent Flash plugin installed. For small numbers of files, this should work fine...But for larger numbers of files, I'd suggest using either Windows Explorer, or the Media Importer program that came on the enclosed CD-ROM. :-)
    You can find full details and instructions for doing both of the above in the NMH 4xx user guide, which may be downloaded Here. :-)

  • How to associate an uploaded file with form data

    I have a "ticketing" app which stores a ticket no. as well as allows users to upload multiple files per ticket. The problem I am having is how to associate an uploaded file with a particular ticket no. As you can guess this becomes complicated when the same user can potentially update multiple tickets using the same file names. I am having difficulty trying to understand how to associate a ticket no with one or more uploaded files. I do have a custom table which I update with the attachments but I am unsure how to, or when to, update the ticket information on this custom table. I only want to retrieve attachments for a given ticket, not all attachments uploaded by a user.Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    My question is bit related to this topic.
    I am having a requirement to upload the CSV files so that they will store in a database table and later on wards when they search on that table it needs to pull the information and display on the form. I am a new bee to application express. Could some body tell me how to start this process with??. Just give me an overvoew/hints so that I will try to carry on my own.
    Cheers,

  • How many users can you have on one account ?

    Hi,
    I have just created a ID with Adobe Reader for a group to use files stored in cloud. I would like to know how many users can access the account at one time via, mobile devices, ipad, desktops ?

    I don't know if there is a limit; you do mean the free https://cloud.acrobat.com/ ?
    I will move your post to the Acrobat.com forum, where someone hopefully can give you a definitive answer.

  • How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation?

    How many users can connect to a shared drive on a non-server workstation? We're waiting for our server to arrive and in the interum we're using a Pegasus 2 R6 attached to an iMac running Mavericks as our fileserver. It's been sketchy, the connection to the server being dropped once in a while or the inability to mount the drive after a week of success. The Pegasus we're using now will be attached to a server once it arrives. For now I need to figure what's coausing trouble before I commit to this being our main storage as planned. The data is backed up every night so I'm not worried, its the usability issues. 5-7 people are mounting this drive and opening/saving at the same time. Is there a limit to Maverick's fileserving ability that may be causing this? Understandable if so.

    The file server in the client version of OS X has a default limit of 10 simultaneous connections. That limit can be raised by installing OS X Server, or lowered by setting a hidden preference. Assuming you've done neither, you may be able to solve the problem temporarily by stopping and restarting file sharing in the Sharing preference pane, or permanently by setting another hidden preference on the server to break idle connections quickly.
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool YES
    Stop and restart file sharing. To reverse the change, run this command in the same way:
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer idleDisconnectOnOff -bool NO
    Credit for this solution to ASC member suter:
    this file server will not allow any additional users to log on
