New-PSDrive to SharePoint Office 365

How can I create a New-PSDrive to an instance of Office 365 over WebDAV?
I know I can do it by using the map network drive in the Windows Shell (then specyfing connect to Web site).
Just passing -Credentials into New-PsDrive does not work, I believe because Office 365 requires passing SAML tokens.
Please help.
Thx,
Adam

There is a comprehensive example of drive mapping to Office 365 with Powershell including the automation of Internet Explorer to perform the authentication here

Can't create a new list in Sharepoint - Office 365

I am trying to connect to our intranet (Office 365) and create a new list and forms.
Whether creating a new list or customizing a current list, I get this message when I'm in the Data Connection wizard:
The operation could not be completed.
Details = The SOAP message could not be parsed.
For the location of my site I'm using https://companyname.sharepoint.com
Is there configuration that I need to ask our admin about? Is this possible with a hosted site?
Thanks
Karl

Hi,
Can you please check your permission level and let us know?
and also please let me know are you creating this list via VS?

Why don't some users have option File SharePoint/Office 365 Server Check In?

All team members have the same permissions in SharePoint. We can all check a doc out in SharePoint. Some of us then have an option on the File menu in Acrobat that says "SharePoint/Office 365 Server" with a "Check In" option under that. Some team members do not have that option.
How can we fix this so that everyone has the ability to easily check in an update to SharePoint?
Cheryl Bowsher

Hi Cheryl,
Check version of Acrobat of all users, it should be same and updated, i.e. 11.0.6
Does your user get "Check In" option through web browser?
What is the version of SharePoint you are using and what is the exact workflow?

Anoop

Possible ways to connect SharePoint Office 365 to External databases

Hi,
Is there a way we can connect SharePoint Office 365 to Oracle & MySQL Databases and also is it possible for these databases to feed data to SharePoint Office 365 rather than SharePoint pulling the data from these databases.
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, it is not feasible to connect SharePoint Office 365 to Oracle & MySQL Databases by OOTB. But you can consider deploying the Business Connectivity Services (BCS) which can access data from WCF Data Services and SQL Server Azure Connectors.
Also you can consider three part tools.
For more information, you can have a look at the thread:

SharePoint Office 365 development

We want to do some POC on SharePoint Office 365 development so that with same expertise later we can develop for our customer. Here I have few question on this:
Can we use SharePoint Office 365 development for Farm level deployment ?
Or SharePoint Office 365 is used exclusively for development of Apps ?
Is Napa tool necessary for Farm level solution? (I know it is required for Apps development)
Basically we want to develop farm solution not any apps, can we use SharePoint Office 365 for this?
Can we develop office 365 application in a virtual machine without any internet connection i.e. without connecting to the web or Microsoft online?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Answers for your questions
1. Can we use SharePoint Office 365 development for Farm level deployment ?
Answer : No. Only Sandbox
2. SharePoint Office 365 is used exclusively
for development of Apps?
Answer : No. It also supports for .Wsp with some restrictions on code
3. Napa
tool necessary for Farm level solution?
Answer: Office 365 doesn't support Farm Solution.
Apps only run in different context or web.

Trying to access SharePoint / Office 365 Server options from the browser

When I use the Open With Explorer view of a SharePoint library and open a document from there, I am prompted to Check Out & Open (or just open) the file. And then from the open file, under the File menu, I have an option for SharePoint / Office 365 Server, to check the file back in and/or to update Document Properties. This is the exact functionality I am looking for. My question is, why don't I have this option when I open the PDF in one of these scenarios:
direct from the browser (within SharePoint)
from a synced library
outside of SharePoint (i.e. from the Desktop)

Seems like a good question for a SharePoint user forum.
Be well...

Visual Studio Community 2013 on Windows 8.1 pro - how can I develop for Sharepoint (Office 365)?

Hello everybody from Italy.
As stated on the subject, I'd like to develop some solutions for my Office 365's SharePoint site.
I'm absolutely new to Visual Studio usage, too :-)
I downloaded and installed VS Community 2013 and SharePoint 2013 SDK (along with ... but still no luck, VS keeps saying that I need to have SharePoint installed locally in order to develop solutions for SharePoint.
What now?
F. Simonetti - UNIX Sysadmin - Sharepoint learner

Ok, I managed to:
remove the "somewhat offending" custom list (I'll add it later after realizing what I was doing wrong)
create one custom list without any specific feature (I called it List1)
create another list based on Contacts, kept absolutely default (called List2)
build&deploy the app
Ok, now the "app" is there (on my devel environment), doing absolutely nothing (because I didn't create any form or page or whatever). But I have a Contact list! I should be able to sync it to Outlook desktop!
This page helped me to understand how I can reach the list created inside the app (https://devtenant.sharepoint.com/AppName/Lists/List2)
... but I had a bad surprise: no option to sync the Contact list with my Outlook desktop application. This remains true even after having activated the "Offline Synchronization for External Lists" feature inside Site Settings/Site Features menu.
So, the Contact-like list inside the app has lost about 80% of interest... not being able to sync it with Outlook is a severe limitation. I'm assuming that every list created inside an app will suffer of the same problem, is it true?
By the way, how I'm supposed, after having eventually finished my work on the app, to install it on the "real" work environment, that is completely unrelated to the development site (being the "work" site a mere "Business
Premium" Subscription)?
I tried to deploy the app to the "non devel" site with no luck: VS says that the destination site is not configured for sideloading apps.
Many thanks in advance, Ashish.

Best Approach for Sharepoint/Office 365 Solution?

Hello there,
I have been asked to develop a new solution involving SharePoint Online. I know a bit about SharePoint but have not done any development with it as of yet. I need to understand the best approach to take (e.g. WebPart, Separate Web Application, something
else?)
In my opinion, the "application" needs are a bit complex. the solution must be hosted in the Cloud (most likely on Azure or within SharePoint if possible)
It needs to meet the following objectives:
Consume data from a SQL Server database (proprietary, no api available), on premises
Manipulate/Read SharePoint Lists
Launch Workflows
Provide seamless authentication (Users log into the SharePoint online service, must not have to log into a separate app)
Support additional database functionality (e.g. I will have my own tables, sps in SQL, that will be needed) and a UI for users to interact with the custom tables.
Some concerns I have from reading articles is that some functionality is restricted using the SharePoint online platform.
Any input on a viable approach would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Cory

You will want to implement a provider hosted app. A provider hosted app gives you the ability to host your app on a trusted server where you can have your own database. You can also communicate back into SharePoint using CSOM to manipulate lists and launch
workflows. The authentication will flow through from SharePoint Online to your app using OAuth authentication. Some links to help you below:

Email enabled lists/libraries in SharePoint Office 365

very specific question about SharePoint in Office 365. Can you have email enabled lists? That is, a SharePoint list or document library with an email address that enables incoming email. This is a feature in on-premise SharePoint. I
need to know if it is available in Office 365 and under which plans.

Here's a list of four 3rd party apps that allow you to do this with SharePoint Online

SharePoint office 365

In a recent update, either FF or something internal at MS. (I am pretty sure it was the latest FF last week) All of our boxes can no longer access lists/libraries in SharePoint 2013 (o365). Every single machine, different computers, different companies SharePoints, ones not hosted by MS. Just a big ol' blank page when you try to view any content on any sharepoint.
There is nothing that links these boxes together, they are 100% independent.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Hope to hear from you again soon.

SharePoint App Top Navigation doesn't match new Office 365 Top Navigation

I am developing a SharePoint App for Office 365/SharePoint online and have noticed that my SharePoint App (created via Visual Studio) has a different top navigation than the host site, as SharePoint/Office 365 has a new top navigation. How can I get my SharePoint
App to match the new Navigation in use everywhere else? Images are as follows:
SharePoint App Nav

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to display the same suite bar in both SharePoint site and App.
After the last update of Office 365, the style of the suite bar is different between SharePoint site and App, as well as the HTML structure:
SharePoint site:
App:
As a workaround, I would suggest you create custom “suite bar” with client site technology to replace the default suite bar in App.

How to create a private forum in Office 365 SharePoint for customers?

Hi,
I am implementing a SharePoint Office 365 solution for a client but one of their requirements is sharing regularly updated info with only 20 customers. The idea is to share info with just the customers in a private forum basically to receive feedback, comments
and emails. What is the best approach to this?
Thanks,

Hello Aslr12,
Based on these requirements I would just create a new site collection within SharePoint online service of your Office 365 tenant, based on the community site template. This template has some nice web parts like the Discussion list and some Community tools.

Programs to copy Sharepoint Online to Sharepoint Online (Office 365)

Hi there,
I want to copy a sharepoint site collection in Office 365 SharePoint to a new site collection in Office 365 SharePoint. Can anyone recommend me a good program to do this? I know there are a lot out there and have trialled two of them but they were just too
slow. The site is 3GB which isn't huge but one of the programs was taking days at doing this.
I'd also like to use the program for migrating our old WSS SP site to Office 365 SharePoint some time down the track.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I recommend you to use the metalogix tool which migrates the data from any source(MOSS 2007, SP 2010, SP 2013 or Office 365) to target(SP 2010, SP 2013 or Office 365). I am using this tool, it took me 1.5gb data move to 1.5 hours.
Please don't forget to mark it as answered, if your problem resolved or helpful.
