Adding a Sharepoint Document Library in Windows Explorer Fovorites

I want to add a sharepoint document library in my favorites in windows explorer... Every time I copy the link, instead of opening the library in windows explorer, it open the browser and go directly to the site... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sebastien

Hi Seabass:
Have you tried mapping the library in question as a network location on your local machine?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-shortcut-map-network-drive#1TC=windows-7
To map to a particular SharePoint resource on your site, you would use this structure:
\\mysharepointsite@80\sites\library\Photos as your network address.
In this manner, you can add this link to your Favorites, and you will have the Windows Explorer mode you're requesting. Hope this helps! ;)

Document Library "Open Window Explorer" option is disable in FireFox

Hi,
I am opening my SharePoint Site in FireFox and tried to open Document Library in "Open with Explorer" option but i could not open it.
It is disabled mode. But i could open in "Internet Explorer".
How could i resolve it?
Thanks
Poomani Sankaran

Hello Poomani,
AFAIK Explorer View wont work in FireFox because FireFox doesnt do ActiveX and Sharepoint has few ActiveX Components. You will have to use IE for that.

In SharePoint 2010 Document Library "Open with Explorer" Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer

Hi.
I am getting below error "Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer" while click "Open with Explorer" option in document library.
My system is client machine which is 32 Bit system and
Web Client service is also running and Window 7 PC.
Other SharePoint sites "Open with Explorer" option in document library is working fine but specific site is giving error.
Even it was working fine but not is giving this error.
Please help me on it. Its making frustrations.
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got “Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer” error.
Did you enable the both authentication (Windows and FBA) on default zone.
As far as I remember when FBA is enabled on the same zone when Windows is used, it breaks whole client integration.
So it will be better if you will recheck your architecture and will use different zones for Windows and FBA.
There is also another thing to try: use claims based authentication with authentication provider which will work both with Windows and FBA.
What’s more, you can also check with below steps.
Use compatibility mode to check whether it works.
Open IE->Tools->Compatibility View Settings
Add the site into Trusted sites to check whether it works..
Open the IE->Internet Options->Security->Sites->add the site into the Websites, then check whether it works.
In addition, you can also try to enable Basic authentication on the client computer, by setting the BasicAuthLevel registry entry of the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters

Advice needed for provider hosted web application - authentication and access to SharePoint document library

I haven't done SharePoint 2013 development with claims so I apologize in advance if my assumptions and questions are way out in left field.
I'm trying to understand SharePoint 2013 claims authentication for a scenario that involves:
A SharePoint provided hosted (web forms) app that will pull information and assets (e.g. PDFs) from SharePoint into the web page.
It will be a VS 2012 solution with asp.net.identity feature.
Security will be set for internal users, federated external users and forms-based external users. Based on their security and (claim type) role it will define what information and assets that can be retrieved from SharePoint
I have looked through MSDN and other sources to understand.
This one helped with my understanding
Federated Identity for Web Applications and assumed that the general concept could be applied to forms-based identity for non-Federated external users .
What I have now:
VS 2012 solution web forms application set to Provider Host with asp.net.identity feature and its required membership tables.
I can create new users and associate claims to the new user.
I can log in with a user from the membership tables and it will take me to a default.aspx page. I have added code to it that displays the claims associated to a user.
For POC purposes I'd like to retrieve documents that are associated to this user from the default.aspx page.
This is where I am having trouble understanding: Is my understand correct?
Internal users
since they are internal on the network i am assuming that they would already have access to SharePoint and they would already be configured to what documents that they have available to them.
Federated external users & Forms authentication external users
it seems to me that the authentication for external users are separate from SharePoint authentication process.
changes to the configuration settings are necessary in SharePoint, IIS, web application.
I believe this is what i read.
claims processes (e.g. mappings) need to be set up in SharePoint
as long as external users are authenticated then things are ok b/c they would have claims associated to the user and the configuration in SharePoint takes are of the rest.
This statement bothers me because I think it's wrong.
So basically i'm stuck with if my understanding is correct: once a user is authenticated either by federated identity or asp.net.identity authentication that it should go to the provider hosted default.aspx page because the claim is authenticated and means
that it should have access to it and the SharePoint document library based on some claim property. I could then write the calls to retrieve from a document library and SharePoint will know based on some claim property that the logged in user can only
access certain documents.
It just sounds too good to be true and that i'm missing something in the thought process.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read.
greenwasabi

Hi GreenWasabi,
i agree this is an interesting topic to discuss,
as you can check from the article, you may check this example from the codeplex:http://claimsid.codeplex.com/
when i thinking regarding this topic, its looks like an environment with multiple of realms,
from what you understand, its correct that all the authentication is based from the provider, so for example i have a windows live ID and internal ID, then when i login windows live ID, it will be authenticated using windows live ID server.
here is the example for the webservice:
http://claimsid.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Federated%20Identity%20for%20Web%20Services&referringTitle=Home
as i know, if you using this federated, i am not quite sure that you will need to go to the provider page literally, perhaps you can check this example if we are using azure:

Upload Multiple documents in SharePoint document Library not working

Hi All,
I have folder on my desktop which consists of nested folders and files(Total 11 files) .And when I select "Upload multiple files" option to upload documents and drag the folder from the desktop in pop-up window .
The sharepoint document library uploads only 1 file among all the nested folders from 11 files.Can any one help me how can I solve this
Thanks, Quality Communication Provides Quality Work. http://siddiq-sharepoint2010.blogspot.in/ Siddiqali Mohammad .

Hi,
I understand you encountered the issue when use "Upload Multiple Documents" to Drag Files and Folders to upload window.
When you say "The sharepoint document library uploads only 1 file among all the nested folders from 11 files", do you mean you have drag all files and folders to the window, while only 1 file is uploaded sucessfully? Or you cannot find all expected
folders and files?
Please manually open "Windows Explorer" to locate files and drag files from "Windows Explorer", instead of using the "Open window"
opened by "Browse for files instead" as below:

In SharePoint Document Library Cut and Paste option not working correctly.

Hi,
I have a SharePoint Document Library which has the following.
Folder1 which contains two files named as a File1 and File2
Folder1 ------------> File1 & File2
Folder2 has no files.
Now i am cut the file "File2" from Folder1 and paste in to Folder2.
Issue is "File2" not permanently remove from "Folder1". It is retaining in "Folder1" It self.
Can anyone tell me. What is the issue in it?
Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi Poomani,
According to your description, “File 2” still exists in Folder1 after it is been cut and paste to Folder2.
Can you provide more details about how you perform the operations?
I tried to move the file between folders in a library in the two ways below, both work without issue:
1. “Open with Explorer”: cut and paste the file in the Windows Explorer interface;
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2629108?wa=wsignin1.0
2. In the “Site Content and Structure”, use the “Move…” feature of a library;

Issue trying to use a Sharepoint document library as a network drive on which a software can create and delete content

Hi,
With my colleagues we are using a dictation/transcription software which automatically creates files, moves them from folders to folders and deletes them. Until now, all this was done on a network drive, but the drive will soon be unavailable and
we will eventually have to use a SharePoint document library instead, and I am currently testing this option.
I have created a document library (with no versioning and no check out required) and I mapped it as a drive in Windows Explorer to link the SharePoint folders with the dictation software. Everything seems to work fine except
for one thing: when the dictation software tries to move files from one folder to another, the files are pasted in the destination folder but not deleted from the original folder and an error message pops up saying "delete operation has failed".
So the softaware is able to automatically create new content in the document library but is unable to automatically delete (I can however delete manually through the software interface).
Any idea on what is causing this issue and how to solve it?
Thank you

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the documents cannot be deleted in the original folder when using the software with SharePoint library.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Which credential did you use to map the document library as network drive?
If the credential was windows logon, then I recommend to check if the documents can be deleted in the network drive which was connected to SharePoint library directly.
If the documents can be deleted in the network drive which was connected to SharePoint library, then the issue may be due to the compatibility problem between the software and WebDAV. Then you need to check the issue using third-party software provider.
Best regards.

Delivery Error when creating Sharepoint Document Library subscription

Recently we have been having issue with a subscription from a report we have.
We have a report that has been generated and have a subscription from that report to create a PDF document within sharepoint.
Recently the subscription stopped working and we have these errors showing:
A delivery error has occurred. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.DeliveryErrorException: A delivery error has occurred. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InvalidExtensionParameter: One of the extension parameters
is not valid for the following reason: Failed to validate the delivery setting PATH.The specified user USERNAME could not be found.
Failed to validate the delivery setting PATH.The specified user USERNAME could not be found
Looking into this, I found a few things but they did not help.
One thing was to install update 5 for SQL server 2012 R2, but that didn't help.
Another thing was saying something about there being 2 user accounts, a claims account and a windows user account, but I couldn't figure out how to make it use the correct account.
I also tried to save it to a Windows File Share, and try to save it to the Sharepoint server side, however that failed stating it couldn't find that path.
Being that sharepoint is tricky with its file store (is there really a location on the server that files are stored, I cant find it) I could not figure it out.
I know I can windows explorer to the file location, \\site\shared documents\Folder but if I go to the web servers that host sharepoint I can't find where this path really is.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to get error in accessing sharepoint document library files.
The cause is that the account being used to validate accounts on the production domain had been set to expire the password according to the general domain policy.
Once the account is set to never expire, the issues will disappear.

Ssrs sharepoint 2013 error: "A delivery error has occurred ...not a sharepoint document library..."

Greetings SSRS/SharePoint experts,
SharePoint 2013 with SSRS - Creating a subscription to a report that is in SharePoint
I'm trying to create a subscription to publish a report to a sharepoint document library.
I've configured all the settings and on clicking OK get the following error:
"A delivery error has occurred. ---> Microsoft.ReportingSerives.Diagnostics.Utilities.DeliveryErrorException: A delivery error has occurred. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InvalidExtensionParameter: One of the extension
parameters is not valid for the following reason: The delivery path is either not a SharePoint Document Library Folder or does not exist in the Share Point farm."
SQL Server Developer Edition 2012 SP1
SharePoint 2013 Standard
Just wondering if anyone has a solution.
I've tried changing the proxy settings as per this post

Workaround is to not use a sharepoint document library but write the report to a windows file share (this works but is not optimal).
Hoping someone at Microsoft or an expert will come back with something.
Kind regards
Gio

Hi,
Can you check the SharePoint ULS log located at : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS, and look at the log there when the error occurs?
You can also check the Application Event Log on the SQL Server to see if there are any additional errors.

Download older version of a file from SharePoint Document Library using CSOM and 404 error

I am trying to download previous versions including Major and Minor versions of documents from SharePoint Online using CSOM. I get 404 error when I try to download the file. I found several posts on various discussion forums where people are getting same

Word opening in Client Application in SharePoint document library when feature is not activated in manage features in site collection

Hello, I wish for all Word documents to open in the browser for my SharePoint document library on my team site.
The feature 'open in client application' is not activated in Features for the site collection and the setting in the document library is set on 'Use the server default (open in the browser)
When I select File > new> from the ribbon in the document library - it still opens Word in the client application?
Any ideas on this?
Is there a general Office 365 setting over riding SharePoint somewhere?
Regards
kegan1

Okie don't open up a ticket. Can you please open internet explorer...See if its the latest version. Once you have done that can you login to the SharePoint site. Then go to the internet wheel option in top right corner > select manage add on >
Click on toolbars and extensions on left > then click on SharePoint open documents in client and disable it. Close the browser completely now for the changes to take effect. Open internet explorer once again and then try to go to site collection click on
file and create new. The word will open up in browser now. This has to be done on each and every machine in your firm so that users will be able to open up only in browser. Out of the box there is only one way is to customize the ribbon and remove the new
option from there or creating an all together new ribbon for your SharePoint from visual studio.

Load a project from a SharePoint document library

"Add a project to a SharePoint document library" is nicely documented in the RoboHelp reference guide. However there is no information on adding another user to that library, i.e. how do you synchronize that user with the library on SharePoint? Do they open a new project and restore the files...? I have no idea how to do this - spent the last 2 hours trying to figure this out as there in no information on this - not even on Google searches. It's really a shame that a powerful help authoring tool is lacking help itself. I'm a fan of robohelp, however when you face roadblocks like this - it's very frustrating. This should be something simple to do and it should be clearly documented. Can someone please help.

I have just found the solution and it had previously been answered in this post: How do I connect multiple users to a project on Sharepoint for collaboration
Adobe - you need to include this in your documentation - this is a vital feature for people using the ShrePoint connector. I should't have to take two hours of my time to find a random post about this to resolve my problem.

Some chinese character file name not uploading in SharePoint Document Library?

Hi
Some Chinese character pdf file name not uploading in SharePoint Document Library. I am getting following error.
1. File not found error if i would upload using file browse option in Doc Lib.
2. Can't read from the source file or disk. if i would tried to copy and paste using "Open with explorer" options.
File name is "LA（未签署）.pdf"
Note: This file has been converted from "TIFF" to "PDF".
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi Poomani,
For troubleshooting your issue, please let's verify the followings:
Whether other pdf file which are not converted from "TIFF" and contain Chinese char could be uploaded into the SharePoint Document library.
Whether other pdf file which are converted from "TIFF" and don't contain Chinese char could be uploaded into the SharePoint Document library.
Please upload these pdf files into other libraries, compare the result.
Please check the log file to find more information about this issue. The path of the log file is:

SharePoint Document Library

Hi,
I have a scenario, where I need to upload files from a Unix system to SharePoint document library. How can this be achieved using SharePoint Web Services (REST endpoint or any other endpoint that can be consumed in other scripting technologies) and not the
SharePoint object model?
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to upload the files from the Unix system to SharePoint document library.
We can install File Transfer Protocol (FTP) in Unix system. In a client machine, we can create a Console Application using Visual Studio, then use C# to get the
file in FTP server, then add the files to SharePoint document library using SharePoint Client Object Model or REST APIs.
If you need to scheduled uploading, we can create a Windows Job to achieve it.
