Email files to SharePoint Online - Is it finally happening?

I know this question gets asked every few months but I have never asked and a person stated to me yesterday it is now possible to email to Sharepoint Online.
Is it true and if it is true were can I find the info on it?

Mail to a site can not really be achieved.
However, you can create a Site Mailbox. (a webbased mailbox attached to a SharePoint site.)

Linked Excel files on Sharepoint Online

Has anyone found a work around to having linked excel files on SharePoint Online?
Right now in all my tests, SharePoint Online disables the links in my excel file to cells in another excel file and I cannot find anyway to change the links.
This is a pretty basic function that is used extensively in excel so I'm a little surprised that this is not available in SP Online.

Hi,
According to your description, the links to other Excel files in the current Excel file not working if in a SharePoint Online environment.
In SharePoint, Excel files is handled by Excel Services. In SharePoint 2013, the “unsupported features continue to behave as they do in Office SharePoint Server 2007
for Excel Services”:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff595319(v=office.15).aspx
Among the “Unsupported Features in Excel Services in SharePoint 2007”, “External references (workbooks that contain links to other workbooks)” is there:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms496823(office.12).aspx
As a workaround, I would suggest that you can transfer the data from Excel file to SharePoint list/library, it would be easier to deal with this scenario in SharePoint
with the content management related feature provided.
You can also submit a feedback to the Office Developer Platform with your expectation about the future version of SharePoint:

Upload very large file to SharePoint Online

Hi,
I tried uploading very large files to SharePoint online via the REST API using JAVA. Uploading files with a size of ~160 mb works well, but if the filesize is between 400mb and 1,6 gb I either receive a Socket Exception (Connection reset by peer) or an error
of SharePoint telling me "the security validation for the page is invalid".
So first of all I want to ask you, how to work around the security validation error. As far as I understand the token, which I have added to my X-RequestDigest header of the http post request seems to be expired (by default it expires after 1800 seconds).
Uploading such large files is time consuming, so I can't change the token in my header while uploading the file. How can I extend the expiration time of the token (if it is possible)? Could it help to send post requests with the same token
continuously while uploading the file and therefore prevent the token from expiration? Is there any other strategy to upload such large files which need much more than 1800 seconds for upload?
Additionally any thoughts on the socket exception? It happens quite sporadically. So sometimes it happens after uploading 100 mb, and the other time I have already uploaded 1 gb.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, the reason I'm looking into this is so users can migrate there files to SharePoint online/Office 365. The max file limit is 2gb, so thought I would try and cover this.
I've looked into that link before, and when I try and use those end points ie StartUpload I get the following response
{"error":{"code":"-1, System.NotImplementedException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"The
method or operation is not implemented."}}}
I can only presume is that these endpoints have not been implemented yet, even though the documentation says they only available for Office 365 which is what I am using.
Also, the other strange thing is that I can actually upload a file of 512mb to the server as I can see it in the web UI. The problem I am experiencing is get a response, it hangs on this line until the TimeOut is reached.
WebResponse wresp = wreq.GetResponse();
I've tried flushing and closing the stream, sendchunked but still no success

Uploading XML file to SharePoint Online Document Library

Hi,
I got a scenario to upload the xml file the sharepoint library along with that the XML has some information like UserName, Email. Phone and these information has to be captured to the metadata information of that file in the sharepoint library.
Let me know if you have a solution for this.
Thanks
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
Per my understanding, there is an XML file contains attributes. You want to upload it to a SharePoint library as well as extract the values of those attributes to
save to the corresponding columns of the SharePoint library.
As it is an Online environment, a workaround I would suggest is that you can create a client application(such as Windows Form Application) to extract values from the
XML file, then upload the file to SharePoint library, submit the values to the same library afterwards. All this can be achieved using SharePoint Client Object Model.

"Unknown error trying to lock file." SharePoint Online

Greetings,
I am setting up a document library that will be used by users in our terminal session environment. Hosts are Windows 2008 Server R2. We are setup in a Office 365 / SharePoint Online. We have Office 2013 installed on the hosts.The test user that I have
setup has Edit permissions to this document library. Whenever the user goes to open a document in the library it always opens in "Read Only" mode, and when trying to edit I receive the message "Unknown error trying to lock file." I have
read other threads and already changed the following.
-Put our SharePoint in the correct internet zone / and trusted sites (GP)
-Setting to require documents to be checked out before they can be edited (Library Settings)
-Allow documents for opening in Read/Write (GP)
-Added registry entry for AuthForwardServerList including our Sharepoint site (Registry)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Magoo

Hi Dermot,
Did this issue happen to all web applicaitons, and all users? What if you access SharePoint site drectely other than via TFS?
Have you checked if there is any related error message in SharePoint ULS log or event in Event Viewer for any clue?
Also check if SharePoint server application pool (scheduled) recycle could help.

Retrieving files from Sharepoint Online based on time stamp using SharePoint Online Management Shell

Hello,
I would like to create a Powershell script to download files based on timestamp (all files updated on a given date or later). I would really appreciate any guidance on which cmdlets/objects I should look at to accomplish this. I am new to Sharepoint
online and Powershell, though not to programming or scripting.
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
You should start by reading this article : Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Online.
Then have a look at the Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Command Builder, and select "SharePoint Online"
in the dropdown list.

Download RSS feed as xml file from Sharepoint Online using PowerShell

Hello
Our company sharepoint (Office 365) contains also several RSS feeds.
How it is possible to download xml file out of this feed (website) using PowerShell?
I can authenticate with sharepoint using CSOM but do not what to do next.
As service user is not administrator I cannot use "SPOService".
This script works OK for standard website, but not for Sharepoint.
$doc = New-Object System.Xml.XmlDocument
$doc.Load("http://www.{CompanySite}.com/feed/")
$doc.save("C:\temp\feed.xml")
I am getting this error when using for company Sharepoint:
"The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden."
Thanks for your time considering this question.

Hi Scott,
thanks for advice.
Combination of WebClient and Sharepoint Credentials is working OK:
$client = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$client.Credentials = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($User, $SecurePassword)
$client.Headers.Add("X-FORMS_BASED_AUTH_ACCEPTED", "f")
$client.DownloadFile($SiteURL, $file)

Sharepoint Online - File Associations - Create association for .sql files in SPO365

I maintain a document library as a script repository with .sql scripts. we refer to these often for operational processes.
unfortunately, we are currently only given the option to download these files from SharePoint Online.
Is it possible to create an association in SharePoint Online to have these files preview as text or to at least open them in SSMS or Notepad.
caveat = we dont want to change the default OS association for these files. SSMS is fine for the desktop, but in SPO365 a text viewer would be ideal as it would most easlily facilitate a copy and paste.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, when you removed the Read List and Read Item operations and created them back based off of the view and recreated the external list, you saw all the columns you wanted.
Then you can modify view to choose the columns which you want to display.
The issue is, now the item picker and other operations that did not change seem to be going off of the view.
Do you mean that when you add/edit the item, it still displays the foreign key column in the list view?

Email through Event receiver in SharePoint Online

Hi,
I am creating an event receiver for custom list which will send email to users in sharepoint online.
I am using the following code to send email through event receivers in sharepoint.
            MailMessage mMailMessage = new MailMessage();
            mMailMessage.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
            mMailMessage.To.Add(new MailAddress("[email protected]));
            mMailMessage.Subject = "subject1";
            mMailMessage.Body = "just a body";
            mMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true;
            SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.office365.com", 587)
                Credentials = new NetworkCredential("[email protected]", "****"),
                EnableSsl = true,
               UseDefaultCredentials = false,
          client.Send(mMailMessage);
NOTE: I am using MailMessage() because it is in the sandbox solution.
However I am facing the following error :
Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.Mail.SmtpPermission, System, Version=4.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
It may be because I am trying to use SMTP server of sharepoint Online,However I am not able to connect it.
Can anybody help me and can advice how to send email programmatically from sharePoint online ?
Thanks
Jhalak

In Office 365, there's no direct way to send an email programmatically because the SPUtility.SendEmail
Method isn't available in sandboxed solutions. The workaround is to use the Send an Email action in a list workflow.

Error Importing ECT Odata BDC Model to Sharepoint Online BCS

Hi,
When I try to import the BDC model (of Odata Service with anonymous authentication) to sharepoint 2013 online, got the
error "Application definition
import failed. The following error occurred: Unable to connect to the remote server Error was encountered at or just before Line: '63'
If I import the same BDC model to a Sharepoint 2013 on premise it works!.
Any idea about how to fix it?
Thanks!
Norberto

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you encountered with an error when importing BDC to SharePoint Online.
Before you begin this procedure, make sure you have the following:
    • The .bdcm file that you extracted in
Extract an external content type to a BDCM file for the Business Connectivity Services hybrid Scenario.
    • An account with administrative rights to your SharePoint Online tenancy and administrative rights to the BDC Metadata Store.
In addition, please make sure you import BDC to SharePoint Online correctly.
For more information, you can refer to:

I want to query sharepoint sites documents. I'm using the Office365 library for .NET.
I'm trying the following:
var sharePointClient = await AuthenticationHelper.EnsureSharePointClientCreatedAsync("RootSite"); var filesResults = await sharePointClient.Files.ExecuteAsync(); //exception here, File not found
I tried to query the list using REST operations (without .NET library), the Office 365 Rest API Documentation says the following:
SharePoint sites: https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com/{site-path}/_api/v1.0
I know my {tenant} but I don't know the {site-path}, I tried everything that I could imagine, without success.
I have 2 sites listed in SharePoint Sites of portal.microsoftonline.com
Note: I asked this question in the http://community.office365.com/, they said to me to post it here.
Can anybody help me?
Thank you!

Moving Sharepoint online to another tenant

Hello
I have a client (lets call them Business A) that has purchased another business (Business B). Business A has a Office 365 Tenant but hasn't been really been used apart from Lync, while business B has also an Office 365 tenant that they use Email, Lync and
SharePoint online. We need to migrate all of Business B in to Business A Office 365 Tenant.
My question is around SharePoint. How do we move Business B's SharePoint Online to Business A Office 365 tenant?
Thanks in advance.

You would need to use a migration tool, like Metavis or Sharegate to export, then import the content to the new tenant.

SharePoint Online custom alert emails

How can I change the alert email that SharePoint online (part of Office 365) send out. I've seen alot of reference to AlertTemplate.xml but that is if you have SP installed on a local server.
I would like to add the check in comments to the alert email.

Hi Scott,
The Alerttemplates.xml file is located at: Local_Drive\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Template\XML directory on On-Premise SharePoint local server, so we can customize the alert template file on local server with server
administration permission per this
article.
But in Office365 SharePoint Online, if you wan to customize the alert template you need to customize the Alerttemplates.xml under 14 folder on Online server, but it is not permitted, check this article
you also have seen.
You can also post this question related SharePoint Online in dedicated Office365 SharePoint Online forum, you can get a better assistance there,

SharePoint Online Power Bi. pbix files and SPO List refreshes?

I have a Power Bi License on SharePoint Online - suspect the free one. I have access to the Power Bi Admin center and gateway on SPO. I have Power Bi on my Windows 8 desktop.
On my client I've created a pbix report with an SOP List data source.. on my client it works and refreshes!
How can I present that report on an my SPO page to users? I've tried to upload to do library and dashboard page on an SPO Bi Site and it only wants to download the pbix file. Also will users need to have a Power Bi license to view the page/report?
Once up, will my report allow for data refresh to SPO List sources? Automatic refreshes? We've had issues with this before with Excel Services where SPO data will not allow refresh powerview connections for some reason on SPO.
Any option within Power Bi to build WYSIWYG (SSRS type) reports where we can arrange SPO Data into full page view by Item?

Hi,
SharePoint Online don't restrict reloading and refreshing the data in real time.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:
Keeping Your Reports Up to Date with Scheduled Data Refresh
Scheduled Data Refresh Update: New Data Sources
If you still have some question about Power BI for office 365, you can create post in
Power BI for office 365 forum.
