Allow SharePoint 2013 documents to be viewed only in the browser.

I have a SharePoint 2013 server and have no Office Web Apps installed. I am able to view Excel documents in the browser.
Because of excel service running. However, I couldn't find a way to view Word or PowerPoint PDF and Auto Cad File (.dwg).
I have to achieve this functionality without Office web apps Installation.
Please, Provide some workaround.
Thanks,
Siddheshwar

That's going to take OWA or something similar. Autocad will be even more tricky than word/pdf as it's not going to be managed by OWA. You'd need to find a third party tool that can render those in the browser, i haven't encountered anything like that myself.

Email attachments from SSRS email subscription are not being uploaded to an email enabled SharePoint 2013 document library

Email attachments from SSRS email subscription are not being uploaded to an email enabled SharePoint 2013 document library.
I have tested the library using a standard email (with attachment) to the library and this works fine.
I have monitored the drop folder on the server and I can see both emails being picked up in drop and processed by SharePoint. The email sent from a regular email account is uploaded with the attachment, whereas the email sent via SSRS subscription
email is uploaded and the attachment (report) is missing.

An update on this. The email when sending from SSRS subscription is received in the library and the attachment is contained within the .EML file uploaded.
The behaviour that I would like from SSRS subscription emails are to just have the document and not the email.
Below is a snippet of the .EML files I quick copied from the Drop folder.
Email attachment snippet sent from SSRS Subscrption:

SharePoint 2013 document library, permissions to upload and view shared document only

SharePoint 2013 document library I want to give access to client where they can upload and view their uploaded document and can see all documents shared with them.
I have managed to show all document shared with them only by deactivating a feature but now they can't upload any document, If I create a permission set to allow them to upload documents, they will see all other documents as well which are not shared with them.
Any suggestions?

Hi Sharaqat, the best way to handle your situation is to have a separate library or site for the client. You could use item level permissions per Thilosh, but fine-grained permissions become a major headache. You could also use web parts and audience
targeting, but that's not truly secure.
cameron rautmann
I am thinking to have a separate document library for client, where they can upload/view/edit etc, we will upload documents in a "secure" library with a column saying this is a private document or public document, if we mark a document public,
a workflow will move that document to the client's document library. I don't think there would be a problem to move a document from 1 library to another in a workflow.
That's the easiest solution I have found so far.

SharePoint 2013 allows downloaded even for users with "view only" permissions

I have a new on premises SharePoint 2013 server and assigned a single user "view only" rights to a document library. In the "permission levels" window, this permission is described as "Can view pages, list items,
and documents. Document types with server-side file handlers can be viewed in the browser but not downloaded."
Once I gave the user that permission, I noticed he was able to view documents in the library but the "but not downloaded" part does not seem to be working. The user can still download documents to his local desktop and SharePoint does not prevent
it. The "download a copy" option appears and the user can use it.
My goal is to make all documents in this library such that users can only view them in the browser and not download a local copy. How I do that?
Thanks for your help.

Not entirely positive :-)
However, you have no server-side handlers in place today without WAC installed, so that portion of the View Only permission wouldn't be applicable.
Note that WAC must be installed on its own server and if your SharePoint server is extranet or public facing, it needs to have a valid, public SSL certificate. Also, WAC should always be run over SSL regardless if it is public facing or not as the token
sent between the SharePoint server and WAC is the same as having a username and password for the user making the request.

Can't open MS Word .doc files from SharePoint 2013 document library?

Hello,
I have uploaded some MS Word files with .doc extension into a SharePoint 2013 document library, but they don't open when clicked. I can do a number of things to the file, like view and edit properties, download and other things, but it does not
open up when mouse clicked. There are PDF files in the document library and they open up just fine. Any ideas?
I should add that MS Word 2010 .docx files can not be opened either.
Thanks.
Paul

Hi,
Whether you use office 2013.
Considering this .doc file can be smoothly opened in Office if you downloaded it to your local, it indicates that the Word document and Microsoft Word doesn’t have any problems. The issue may be caused by the compatibility between Office
and your site.
1.Check whether you have the SharePoint OpenDocuments Class add on enabled at first.
Internet Explorer >Tools iron > Manage add-ons >
Choose to Show All add-ons. Find SharePoint OpenDocuments Class and make sure it’s enabled.
2.go to Compatibility view settings > add your SharePoint site to compatibility view
3.go to Internet Options,
Advanced > Reset… > Check Delete personal settings and reset
Security > Trusted sites > sites > add SharePoint sites to trusted sites
4.If it doesn’t work, please open Word, go to Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Protected View > Uncheck all.
Best Regards,
Lisa Chen

Connecting a SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client

Good Day,
Can someone please confirm if you can connect a SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client?
I have seen articles, like the one shown below for Outlook 2013 to SharePoint 2013;
http://www.sharepointgeoff.com/how-to-connect-a-sharepoint-2013-document-library-to-outlook-2013/
Please provide a link to documentation to validate what Outlook Office versions will support viewing Document Library from Outlook client from a SharePoint 2013 Document Library.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to review my request.
Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Per my understanding, you might want to connect SharePoint 2013 Document Library to Outlook 2010 client application.
Yes, SharePoint 2013 Document Library can connect to Outlook 2010 client application, the connecting process is similar as what SharePoint 2013 connect to Outlook
2013 client application does.

How to Implement custom share functionality in SharePoint 2013 document Lib programmatically?

Hi,
I have created custom action for Share functionality in document library.
On Share action i'm showing Model pop up with Share form with addition functionality.
I am developing custom share functionality because there is some addition functionality related to this.
How to Implement custom share functionality in SharePoint 2013 document Lib pro-grammatically?
Regards,
- Siddhehswar

Hi Siddhehswar:
I would suggest that you use the
Ribbon. Because this is a flexible way for SharePoint. In my project experience, I always suggest my customers to use it. In the feature, if my customers have customization about permission then i can accomplish this as soon
as possible. Simple put, I utilize this perfect mechanism to resolve our complex project requirement. Maybe we customize Upload/ Edit/ Modify/ Barcode/ Send mail etc... For example:
We customize <Edit> Ribbon. As shown below.
When user click <Edit Item>, the system will
render customized pop up window.

SharePoint 2013 document library workflow to send emails when document changes

Hi All,
Need a email alerts to setup when documents get change in a SharePoint 2013 document library. Mail should go to all the members in a SharePoint Security group.
Many Thanks
sudesh withanage

Out of the box , You cannot set alerts for SharePoint group. You may try -
1- Create a group in active directory, add users to the ADgroup. Add that ADgroup in Sharepoint and configure alert.
2- You can set up a new user and change their email to that of a distribution list, and then assign the alerts to this user.
3- You can create a custom workflow/action or event receiver that will send an email to a distibution list or programmatically traverse the SPGroup's members and send them the notification email, whenever an item is added or changed.
4- You can try this , this was for WSS3 -
http://advancedalert.codeplex.com/
5- you can to use SharePoint Designer and create a workflow that send an email to SharePoint group.
Thanks

2GB of video file upload to SharePoint 2013 document library

Hi All,
We have a requirement of uploading a 2GB of video file to a SharePoint 2013 document library. Will there be any issue due to increasing the maximum file size?
Many Thanks,
sudesh withanage

It will be better if you save all your videos at one location,i.e Asset Library.Check the link for Asset libraries
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee414275(v=office.15).aspx
In case you want to add other files (i,e excel ,word) along with videos you will need to increase library size,
Check the following link to increase the file size ,as well as the issues and workaround to solve the problems

You want to use word processing mode. I suggest you ask your question in the Pages forum and include information about what you are copying. Off the top of my head I can't come up with any reason you'd see this in WP mode. https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages

SharePoint 2013 - document libraries and newsfeeds are visible when viewed using Internet Explorer running on the server but not from any other machine

On a single Windows 2012 R2 server I have installed SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2013 SP1 with the latest update roll ups. When I remote desktop to the server using the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using
Internet Explorer, I'm able to see newsfeeds and document libraries.
If I connected to a separate Windows 7 machine as the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using Internet Explorer, I'm able to view the SharePoint pages except I cannot see any newsfeeds or document libraries.
There's just blank space where they should be. I have repeated this process on several other machines that are not the server and get the same result on every machine (I've tried other servers, desktops, adding the SharePoint site to the trusted sites list
in IE, even using firefox). I'm using the same account as I did when I logged onto the server directly. Any thoughts as to what's going on?
Thanks!

Thanks for the idea, Harsh. What am I looking for?
It is currently set to the default of http://server_name and http://server_name:port_number (the latter is for Central Admin).
When I have access to the server, I have always done so the same way, using http://server_name. This was true when I access it from the desktop of the server itself and when I tried to access it from other desktops and servers (the machines where I had the
issues with the libraries and feeds not showing up). Are there other values I should add?
I have not tried to add http://server_FQDN as we don't plan on using that to access it but if you think it will help I would be happy to add it.

Unable to see existing documents in a Custom Sharepoint 2013 Document library while saving a document directly in it using explorer mode

Hi,
We have a SharePoint 2013 doc library based on a custom template, which has been migrated from 2010.
We are unable to see existing documents in a Document library created using this template while saving a document directly in it using explorer mode, However we can save files and even see them in explorer mode, only when we try to save a new document there
directly, we cant see the old docs.
All the OOB libraries work fine.
Below is the normal behavior while saving a file, however nothing comes up when saving on this custom template library

Solved it myself guys... (Well the major part)
Got help from here...

and
http://www.sharepointconfig.com/2011/02/vs2010-list-definition-template-missing-file-dialog-view/
with some tweaks of my own..
Still working on it because its showing SharePoint 2010 header... And I need 2013 look...

How to create column for attachment in SharePoint 2013 Document Library.

Want to know is there OOTB feature/column available which I can use to Add / create a one more column to upload a document for reference.

Hi,
For issue 1, please refer
To manage the permissions for a Document Set, you must have at least the Design or Full Control permission level.
On the Welcome Page for the Document Set, click the Manage tab of the Document Set ribbon, and then click Permissions.
Do one of the following:
To change the permission settings for the document library itself, click Manage Parent.
To stop inheriting permissions from the document library and create unique permissions for this Document Set individually, click Stop Inheriting Permissions.
To view the specific permissions an individual has, click Check Permissions, and then type the name of the user or group you want to check.
To inherit permissions from the parent document library (if the Document Set was previously configured to stop inheriting them) click Inherit Permissions.
For more information about working with permissions, see the links under See Also.
