OneDrive business - sharing folders with users that dont have onedrive licenses.

So I want to try to accomplish something on the cheap. I work for a small company with a about 40 user mailboxes using Office 365 hosted exchange E1. About 15 of those users primarily work on the road as field techs doing service work at customer locations.
What I want to do:
Add 1 license of one drive for business to the admin user of the organization.Create folders in the OneDrive.
Create user groups in O365.
Add users without One Drive for business licenses / drives to the user groups.Share the Folders in OneDrive account with the O365 user groups.Questions:First of all does this violate any licensing? (If so might as well stop reading here, everything else is a moot point),I would assume it doesn't though - I could share files to other people like customers who are unlicensed by generating links and sending the link via email, so why...

Hi,
You can learn how to share documents or folders in OneDrive for Business from this article:

As for your request to share from a Desktop App, I admit that's a limitation so far. Since Microsoft will always improve its products to make them more powerful and easier to use, let's see what will happen in the future.

What do you with songs that dont have Album Artwork? Cover flow.

I have a live concert recording from my favorite band from 2 years ago. obviously since its a live recording, there is no album artwork for it but i use cover flow, which i love.
if i dont have album artwork for even this live recording then it defeats the purpose of having cover flow. so what do i do?

Find a suitable image and add that as an illustration in the absence of an actual album cover. Just add add the image manually to the tracks you want: Adding Album Cover Art or Images in iTunes
I found this page full of pictures using Google image search: The Decemberists

HELP!!! I am getting really fed up with things that dont work.

I am asking why a year ago i wasted money on Prem elements 8 only to have it not do the same as prem 2 did not do.
Neither will see my cameras a canon 650i & sony hc320i which were visible on Win 98 with prem elements 2, i now have win7 loaded Pe2 on both my new laptop & my 2 year old HP desktop the HP crashes if i try to go to DVD burn the Toshiba Laptop just does not see camera or DVD burners.
PE 8 i thought would be a solution after all its up to date but i hate it as a package oh and guess what it wont see camera or burner so great i wasted my £100+ on something thats horrid to use & wont work. Bring back PE 2 but how do i make it work on both PC,s.
Pe2 has always been a problem but worked with a lot of messing but now i can only download onto it from DVD then edit slowly ie 15 minutes for every tag on the timeline but having done this it will not see a burner.
Im not a techy but was told to re load Roxy or Nero missing out bits, i cant see either on my pc,s anyway & dont have the programs to load. the burner works with other programs so my guess is that Adobe just dont add the bits that do the job.
Well as you can guess i am fed up haveing spent money on something that does not do what it said on th box it just rubbish to expect a mere mortal to play around with a pc.
Question then is this simple, How do i get this to work properly without getting techy & download to DVD in PAL format and talk to the camera without it crashing my PC.

Hi in reply to this both cameras are dv video cameras the sony being 3 years old & great the Caon is 5 years old having been bought for the athens olympics. Operating system as stated is win7 that does see the cameras on my lap top. i dont know what other facts you need.
I have contacted Adobe at least 3 times since buying Adobe PE8 the last time pointing out very unhappily that customer service is about replying to emails. The customer service contact is the one with the original packing. i have to say this is getting me no where. I want it to work when loaded its on a new PC where nothing has been added as one of your colleagues has there is no'downloaded trash' the only programs on it are those that came with it plus PE8.
Life & PC's are supposed to be fun this is not. when i have the time to wait for elements to talk to the net 7 crash again i will ask for more help either Windows 7 is rubbish or the link to adobe. sad really

Your Canon 650i is a still camera. You should be able to download the photos from it using either Photoshop Elements or the Premiere Elements Media Downloader. The video, per the FAQs to the right of our forum, will likely need to be converted before you can edit it in Premiere Elements.
I could not find any specs on a camera called the Sony HC320i, so I have no idea if this is a still camera, a tape-based or hard drive based camcorder or even an AVCHD unit.
Beyond that, you really haven't given us nearly enough information to help you out. If you're unhappy with the software, you can certainly contact Adobe by clicking the Contact button at the top of this page.
Meantime, does Windows recognize a connection to these cameras/camcorders when you plug them into your USB or FireWire port? If not, the issue is with your system. Not the program. Without knowing what operating system you're using, it's hard to advise you beyond that.
Meantime, have you gone to Premiere Elements Help menu and selected Check for Updates to get the 8.01 patch?
Have you gone to Windows Update and manually downloaded the non-critical updates to ensure your system is completely up to date?
Again, if you're as frustrated as you are, I'm surprised that in the past year you have not contacted Adobe. At the very least, you could have asked for a refund within the first month or so.

I would like to duplicate the folders and apps that I have set up on my iPhone to my iPad. Is there a quick way of doing this without going through the whole process again manually?

I would like to duplicate the folders and apps that I have set up on my iPhone to my iPad. Is there a quick way of doing this without going through the whole process again manually?

You can restore your iPad with your iPhone backup but items that are iPhone only will not transfer. It should recreate all your folders. It can't hurt anything to try.

Accessing a shared mailbox for users that do not have a mailbox associated with their AD account.

is it possible to give just AD users access to a shared mailbox via webmail in an exchange 2010 environment when those users do not have mailboxes associated with their AD account? They do have full access rights to the shared mailbox.

Hi Shmaxolin,
According to my experience and research, we can use AD account access to shared mailbox, as long as set properly permission.
We can use IMAP application to access it, please try following steps:
1. Make sure you have enabled IMAP and POP3 protocol.
2. Change IMAP4’s authentication to “Plain test logon (Basic authentication). No…..”(open EMC--->Server Configuration--->Client Access, switch to POP3 and IMAP4, right-click IMAP4 and select Properties, then switch to Authentication)
3. Use the following user format DomainName\Username\MailboxAlias (e.g. DOMAIN\John.Doe\Shared.Mailbox1) to log into the shared mailbox.

Sharing Folders with single users and Teams?

Will there be an option to share folders with single users and teams. Something like DropBox in the near future?

Yes - the ability to share folders will be coming in a future release. Stay tuned!

Server 2008R2 mapping to shared folders fails users of Windows 8.1 but seems OK on Windos 8.0 and no problems for Windows 7

Having read what I could from the related questions, the answers still elude me. This issue apparently is specific to Windows 8.1.
First, a little background.
1: The server is not on a domain, The system runs Server 2008-R2 standard with all folders shared across a standard "Workgroup" type network. They would prefer to
leave this layout intact.
2: The shared folders are nothing but Data files. There are no active system folders or anything used in an "active" environment. They are mostly Word doc, excel
files, pdf, txt, etc. However, due to the requirements of the software that needs to access these files, they Must
reside on a mapped network drive letter. Nothing else works due to the way the SQL database program stores the reference points back to the data.
I have had some success using what amounts to a “simulated” mapping using WebDAV to access the server. But access speed is a lot slower ad file size is limited.
3: The system has been configured as-is for the past 3 years with Users all on Windows 7 x64 (mixed OS, some Home Premium, some Professional) and the only problems that come up are when
access is through an ISP that blocks port 445. This was the original reason for finding a WebDAV/Cloud method just for those Users since they were unable to Map drives to anything on the Office Servers from their Home Internet even when using a VPN.
When Windows 8.0 became the only version available, I added a few users whose new laptops came with 8.0 from the vendors. While there were a very few minor problems, for all practical
purposes, I was still able to provide access to the mapped folders.
As the Windows 8.1 roll-out progressed, some users were successfully upgraded while others are still stuck in Windows 8.0. The issues with this seem to be hardware related and vary
depending on the Make and model of the laptop. I have been assured that eventually all of these will be able to advance to 8.1. But this delay has given me an excellent mixed OS environment for testing.
On the users who have not yet purchased new equipment and who are still using Windows 7. There has been no change. Their drive mapping is stable and they can always connect as usual.
Those blocked from lack of port 445 or still blocked. Systems inside the Office and those with ISP's who allow port 445 can use all mapped drives as normal.
Users who had Windows 8.0 and who have not yet been able to upgrade to 8.1 also have been unaffected. Same results as Windows 7.
Users who got the Windows 8.1 upgrade as well as those that came factory loaded with Windows 8.1 seem to be a never-ending list of problems. The ones that came native with 8.1 are worst
of all. The list of error codes runs through everything that has to do with “communication with the server”. As far as I have seen, this appears to be the issue.
Whether they are in the office on a wired network connection or at home on a Wi-Fi connection, the issues have the same results but the actual error codes may vary slightly. All of
them refer back to an inability to communicate with the server.
Nothing on the server has changed in any way. Users with Windows 7 continue to have zero problems, Users with Windows 8.0 seem to be doing fine as well. Only those with Windows
8.1 are affected and their problems are dramatic with everything from a total loss of drive mapping to misdirected data when the maps are active.
I have tried to make the drives automatically remap on reboot. I have tried registry modifications. I have done everything I can think of to make a difference but the results are the same
for every system using 8.1. The mapped drive letters invariably disappear. Sometimes while the system is in use ( I think I have been able to trace this to times when the system enters Sleep or Hibernate) but always when the system reboots.
One detail that might point to somewhere is that the "time to connect" when mapping the drive is so long that I believe some of the original failures were due to not waiting for a
minimum of 3 or 4 minutes to give time for the Shares to show-up in order to map them. Once the mapping is successful, the file access speed seems normal. But invariably, the drive becomes "unmapped" repeatedly each day.
I know this was a long question but I have tried to provide every possible detail for anyone who has experienced events like this who may already have a solution. I would even be glad
to purchase a 3rd party application if that is what it takes to get this to work. My next planned effort is to try using Server 2013 but I am afraid that might open another can of worms for those who still use Windows 7.
I have also been told that this is in some way related to the push to "Cloud" support in Windows 8.1 OS but I do not see where this would come in. I can say that this was the
one place where things continued to work as before. People who had Windows 8.1 and who had to use the CLOUD copies of our data are still able to connect to it with no problems.
Any suggestions appreciated. Preferably those that would not need extensive changes to the basic network structure. This "workgroup" consists of less than 25 users and any
extreme measures would be hard to justify

Hi，
I sugget you try to ping server so that we can verify the connectivity.
Can windows 8.1 access Windows Server 2008R2?
Also,please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.

I am trying to use SirAdmin to delete them, but I always get Permission Denied when I do that.
I am using my admin user to login to the server with SirAdmin.
How can I get rid of these folders?
Ivan

Don't use your normal admin user for this - create a "siradmin" user (specific name not important). I cannot remember though why this was the advice - so maybe redundant now.
Add that admin to /etc/imapd.conf so that 'admins' line reads like...
admins: cyrusimap siradmin
After logging into SirAdmin, select the shared folder and add an ACL for the siradmin user, with ALL permissions. Then delete the folder. You have to give the user delete permissions before being able to delete it, strange but true

Sharing folders with Samba in Mavericks

Hi,
I've spent the whole afternoon trying to access some shared folders of my MacBook Pro from a machine running Ubuntu 12.04 using samba. is it possible? I read AFP is deprecated and SMB2 is going to be the standard protocol. I also read SMB2 is getting some compatiblities problems because it is unstable so far, and that a possible workaround is to force smbd to use the old SMB1. I have been succeed connecting from a Windows PC to the MacBook Pro using both protocols: SMB and AFP, but with a Ubuntu PC only with the second option. Again, is it possible to access my shared mac's resource using SMB? if AFP is pretended to disappear, how I will access my folders from a linux PC?
Thanks

Yes - the ability to share folders will be coming in a future release. Stay tuned!
thanks,

Can't see shared folders with smbnetfs

Hi!
I'm having trouble with smbnetfs. i installed it successfully, but the folder where the shares should be mounted is always empty
I can mount folders with smbmount and there are no problems but i would like to be able to see all the shared folders...
can somebody help me?
thanks!

Just to dig in deeper with this. I'm having a similar problem (perhaps the same) as described above.
I'm using smbnetfs to mount a folder in my home directory to be my network neighbourhood. When I open it in pcmanfm I can see the work groups, and upon opening a workgroup it'll show nothing more. But in fact, when you open the terminal and do a ls -a you'll notice there are in fact folders corresponding to your computers in that workgroup. Browsing any further works flawlessly.
It's however a minor annoyance that pcmanfm doesn't seem to show them (you can however add a slash to your navigation bar and they'll show up there, rather weird). Has anyone found a way to solve that?

Problem accessing shared folders with SMB from a Windows machine

When I reboot my Macmini, I cant access the shared folders from any Windows machine. On the Windows machine, I'm being prompted for my password, but event re-entering my password does help to get access.
The workaround I found is to go to the MacOSX System Preferences, Sharing, File Sharing, Options, and to uncheck and re-check the checkbox Share file and folders using SMB (Windows). Then I can access again the shared forders from a Windows machine and I'm not re-prompted for my password.
This is quite trooblesome to do that everytime I reboot my Mac. Is anybody experiencing the same pb? Any idea to fix it?
Also, since Lion, I'm experiencing some connection interruption, especially when copying big files from my Mac to a Windows machine.

Yes that is basically the only workaround for this problem. By chance do you have a SSD installed in the Mini?
I had this problem on my MBP when I had a SSD installed. Problem goes away with the original drive or a Seagate XT series drive.
If you don't have a SSD installed the only other option is to Wipe the drive and reinstall and test (Make a TM backup first so you can restore if the problem continues with the clean Re-Install).

Problem: Sharing Folders with iMac and winXP

We have been running a small workgroup sharing so far two winxp machines over a wifi-modem-router-switch. The two pc share folders without problem.
I have now proudly made the switch over to using Apple iMac. Whilst the iMac experience is fantastic, getting to share the iMac with the rest of the winXP is turning into a nightmare.
I have spent 45 minutes with the tech support team of my ISP router supplier (ISP:Club-Internet - Router :AH4021/Tecom AH4222)
Every check & settings turned out to be fine, but they were unable to diagnose the problem.
I spent 3 sessions and over 1 hour (without counting time waiting over the phone) with the Apple support team, and whilst they were very friendly, they were unable to diagnose the problem.
I cannot ping the iMac from the xp machine, but I am told there is hope though, as i can ping ok my xp machine from iMac.
All firewalls have been removed.
File n window sharing set on all machines.
DHCP manually setup assigning fix IP/DNS etc..
Same username on all machines, with unique machine name
Is there anybody who could help? Help!

Just hanged up from Apple tech support France, and this time, spoke to another friendly AND helpful support assistant named Simon.
Simon got me straight into the Finder>Go>Connect to Server
Type into your Server Address window : smb://and here your pc ip address you want to get to
example: smb://192.168.1.2
Hit Enter key, and your pc should appear
Thank you Simon!
Also, watch out for port 80 being hugged by apps like Skype...it might interfer
AND any port being specified into your NAT configuration in your router might confused the search.
Voila!

Iphone wont sync with itunes i dont have apple mobile device

i dont have apple mobile device on my computer so that means my iphone wont sync to my itunes i tryed downloading the new itunes and everything but apple mobile device still did not download why? i need HELP!!!!!

I had the same problem. iTunes would not recognize my wife's phone as a device. My phone was just fine. So here is how I fixed her problem after exhausting all the apple support tips. First thing I did was go to apple.com and saved the newest iTunes software to the desk top (do not install yet). Then I went into control pannel to uninstall software. Uninstall the following....Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple software update, Bonjour, and then finally uninstall iTunes. Then reboot your system, once reboot is complete go to your desktop and install the newest iTunes that you saved earlier. This worked like a charm...let me know if it helps
