While the steps below are fine for Word (and I gather that Excel, Powerpoint have similar steps), what
about Project 2007?  We have Project 2007 SP3, and (a) it doesn't have an Office Button like the core Office 2007 products, and (b) the SharePoint Local Drafts folder isn't listed in the Save options.  Please advise!

Hi,
You can change the location of your local drafts folder where your files are placed while they are
checked out to you in Office system program: click “Microsoft Office Button”>select “Word Options”>select “Save”>in
Offline editing options for document management server files> in Server drafts location
box, type the location on your hard disk where you want to work with checked-out files, or click
Browse and find the location.

  • SharePoint "Use my local drafts folder" not to be displayed

    Hi,
    Is it possible to prevent SharePoint from displaying “Use
    my local drafts folder” dialog box and
    disable this option on default so users won't be able to store files locally?

    I see a similar thread here - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f7e2ee0d-92ff-4bfe-95e7-1ba7b95514cc/disable-the-use-my-local-drafts-folder-option-in-sharepoint-2010-open-document-dialog-box?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
    which mentions that You can not directly edit that dialog (it's an activex control client side). But you can set
    group policy to modify the office client behavior

  • Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.

    Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.
    Summary :
    We are using SharePoint 2010 Ent edition and users were able to checkout Pdf files similar to local drafts folder like any other office file without any problem when they used office 2010.
    i.e
    Unfortunately ever since their machines upgraded with office 2013 recently , this functionality completely stopped working for PDF files. This has now become a big problem for the users when it comes to check out and replace PDF files.
    All browser plugins required for this functionality (i.e    SharePoint OpenDocuments Class ) are all available and active. All document libraries are configured to Checkout is required for editing files. Browser version
    used at the moment is IE9 (32 bit) version with windows 7. 
    Can anyone please help with this issue and any help to get away with this problem is much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
    Did this issue occur with Office files?
    I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
    And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
    Thanks,

  • No checkbox appears in dialong box to "use local drafts folder"

    Using Windows 8.1, ,Word 2013, and IE 11.  When I edit a document from SharePoint Foundation 2010 (Hosted), no checkbox appears in the Microsoft Internet Explorer dialog box to "use local drafts folder".  As a result, no SharePoint
    Drafts folder is created in the location specified under Word 2013 Save Option for offline editing and the SharePoint file is not downloaded locally.  I performed the following troubshooting steps below with no fix so far. 
    1) Confirmed that "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" is "enabled" as an add-on under IE.
    2) Confirmed that Word 2013 Save setting for offline editing are marked as follows:
     Save checked-out files to “The server drafts location on this computer”
     Server draft location: \\users\xxxx\documents\SharePoint Drafts
    3) Tried the SharePoint checkout and editing on a Windows 7, IE 11, Word 2010 workstation and there was no issue.  Checkbox appears. 
     I've exhausted all resources.  Please assist with providing next steps. Unable to load a Screen shot below due to account validation critieria.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display the “use local drafts folder”.
    In Office 2013 it is by design.
    The “Use my local drafts
    folder” functionality has been removed for Office
    2013. 
    This step has been done in order to improve the Client/Server communication by removing some of the redundant network calls generated by this process.
    In order to get office files synchronized with SharePoint document libraries you could
    use SkyDrive Pro instead.
    SkyDrive Pro is getting installed with Office 2013 but is available as a standalone setup as well.  But please note that SkyDrive Pro requires to have a SharePoint server
    2013 installed or a O365 subscription, which brings SPO
    2013.
    If you want to use the “use my local drafts folder”, you should install the Office 2010 instead of Office 2013.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Jason

  • Error discarding checkout when 'Use my Local Draft folder' is checked

    We are getting the error 'The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT 0x80070002)' when discarding checkouts in our production 2010 environment. Steps to repro are:
    upload a file to a document library (OOB Shared Documents is fine)
    check the document in the library view
    Choose 'check out'
    Check 'Use my local drafts folder' when prompted, if it is not checked by default
    Once checked out, check the box again and choose 'discard check out'
    After the browser hangs for a bit, we get the error above.  We've reproed this on multiple machines, but mine is 64bit Windows 7 with IE 8.
    Browsing to 'SharePoint Drafts' on the client machine confirms the file is present.  I suspected UAC or Protected Mode, based on similar issues posted online about SP 2007.  However, I've confirmed protected mode is off for this site, and it is
    listed as 'Local Intranet', with the default settings for that zone.

    Hi danroot,
    Please send the screenshot of the error into the forum.
    What is your Internet Explorer’s version? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?
    If you use 32 bit, try to use Internet Explorer 64 bit, then check the effect.
    Which account did you use to log into the client and SharePoint site? Are they the same account?
    Make sure the account who log into the client has enough permission the “SharePoint drafts” folder.
    Try to use another account to log into the SharePoint site, check the effect.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • How do I open draft folder of my mail?

    How do I open draft folder of my mail?

    Tap on it. The same way that you open any folder in your email account. If you are asking how to create a draft folder .... Start typing an email and then tap Cancel at the top of the email window and you will be prompted to save or delete the draft. Tap Save Draft and then the draft folder will appear.
    Now what are you really asking about? Will your draft folder not open?

  • Missing "Use My Local Drafts Folder" Checkbox

    We work with Office 2010 32 bit and SharePoint 2010. After we update the Lync to 2013 version, we find in SP at check out "Use My Local Drafts Folder" checkbox does not appear any more. I read this article
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/27e03f00-7549-4ca9-8973-9620ce40a78c/no-checkbox-appears-in-dialong-box-to-use-local-drafts-folder?forum=sharepointadminprevious, it said The “Use my local drafts  folder” functionality has
    been removed for Office  2013. Actually we didn't install Word, Excel 2013.... But since Lync 2013 belongs to Office 2013 now, perhaps during install of Lync 2013 some office 2013 features or components have been also installed.
    I need a workaround, because we don't plan to update to Office 2013 and SharePoint 2013. Can I uninstall some office 2013 components to active "Use My Local Drafts Folder" again?  

    I have found the solution. I uninstall the "Office Shared Features" and "Office Tools" from Lync 2013 and keep just Lync 2013 component. Then I have repaired the Office 2010. After that I see "My Local Drafts Folder"
    again and Lync 2013 works also. Yeah :-)

  • Use my local drafts folder - Some Yes, Some No

    Hello,
    I have recently upgraded to MOSS 2007.  When checking out a file some of my users get the prompt to use my local drafts folder and some do not.  Does anyone know why not all users are getting this prompt?
    Thank you,
    Dan

    Hi,
    If the program that you want to use to edit the file is compatible with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, you may see a message that asks if you want to work with the file as a local draft. If you want to work on a copy of the file on your hard disk, leave the “Use my local drafts folder” check box selected. If you want the draft copy to be stored on the server while it is checked out to you, clear the check box.
    If you are checking out a file that was created by a program that isn't compatible with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, the Use my local drafts folder check box does not appear and you cannot work with the file offline

  • How to Change Outlook Default Folder for Insert-Attachment and Save Email/Attachemnt while Outlook is open (VBA)

    Hello,
    Office 2010 32bit, VBA
    Is it possible to programmatically do the above while Outlook is running?  If so, I'm hoping to make that change from a Word macro.
    I tried tinkering with the reg key and that doesn't work because it appears Outlook only respects it at startup time. Similary changing Word File-options-location of documents is respected only when Outlook starts.
    I'm looking to seamlessly keep Outlook's default folder in sync with Word's default folder as the users change working folders in Word, which they do many times per day (and they chose the folder among a couple of thousand possibilities).
    I'm hoping there is a difficult-to-find Outlook object I can manipuate to get to the end result.  IF there is such an Object I have been unable to find it.
    Many thanks!
    Julie

    Hi Julie,
    Based on my research, I think outlook object model doesn’t provide the way to change the default folder for insert attachment and save email/attachment.
    The way to change it is that we need to modify the registry setting and the outlook app should be restart.

    You may create the add-in to custom these actions (e.g. attach attachment, save email)

  • How to change local file Permissions as a default

    I have a mavericks Imac with certian permissions on a folder. when users copy and paste the folder on a server for others to use, some users are not able to acess the files.I know how to change the permissions on the folder manually. But I want to know if there is a way to make my own default permissions to stick with the profile for making new folders?
    I have looked into booting to an OS CD and choosing default permissions for files and folders, but I dont see how that will change anything, becuase I don't need to reset the permissions, i need to be able to give access to certian users automaticaly.
    any ideas?

    Sounds like you are not using ACLs.  When you double click your share point in Server.app, how many entries do you have in the Permissions window?  If you have only 3 then you are not using ACLs which explains why your permissions are not inheriting.  POSIX permissions, the base three of owner, group, and everyone, do not inherit.  You need to add at least one more permission entry to the table.  This is called an ACE (access control entry).  Together, you are building an ACL (access control list).  Try not to use users.  Always add groups if possible as it is easier to manage and never requires propagation of the permissions.

  • How to change iTunes Media Folder location after Hard Drive Died

    I have been trying to figure this out from other posts but can't seem to find what I am looking for. I store all my music files on an external hard drive. Recently, the external drive died on me. Fortunately, I had the external backed up on another drive using Time Machine. I bought a new drive for the music and transferred the files onto the new drive. My question is what do I do next? Currently iTunes still searches for the files on the dead drive and I get the exclamation marks next to each song which is obviously not a surprise. I want to change the Media Folder preferences to the new drive but will I then lose all my playlists? Basically what I want to do is direct iTunes to the new drive and keep everything else intact. Is that possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
