Publishing: Sharepoint WorkSpace Vs OneDrive for business

I've SharePoint 2013 on premise with OneDrive for business. I've published SharePoint Site Collection App with Web Application Proxy (WAP). When a user is at home, he can creates files on his OneDrive folder, these files are automatically synchronize with
SharePoint 2013 server, OK ??
With SharePoint 2010 workspace, I think is different, user doesn't have a specific folder like OneDrive. When user is at home and creates a new file. Is this synchronize to SharePoint server ??? Must I publish something on WAP ??

SharePoint 2010 workspace syncs with SharePoint 2010. If a user creates a document in a SharePoint Workspace library at home it will sync with SharePoint 2010 the next time they log in to the SharePoint 2010 environment. If SharePoint is published
through WAP it probably limits the number of ports available. Which will keep the Workspace from syncing at that point. But when the user comes back on-premises the document will sync with the SharePoint 2010 environment. Workspace will still work
with SharePoint 2013, but it has been deprecated and will be going away at some time in the future.

Sharepoint 2013 and Onedrive for Business

Hello,
I need help with understanding Onedrive and have few questions. It would be nice if someone can help me with this:
We have Sharepoint 2013 Enterprise and we will use OneDrive for Business with it. Now how is the user adminsitration works? Do I have to create new users or I can user that accounts from Active Directory? Everything is stored in SQL database.
Today users have home folders and is it good to replace it with OneDrive?

Hi,
When we use the OneDrive or OneDrive for Business, we should first understand the differences between them.
OneDrive for Business is a personal library intended for storing and organizing your work documents. As an integral part of Office 365 or SharePoint Server 2013, OneDrive for Business lets you work within the context of your organization, with features such
as direct access to your organization’s address book.
OneDrive for Business is online storage intended for business purposes. Your OneDrive for Business library is
managed by your organization and lets you share and collaborate on work documents with co-workers. Site collection administrators in your organization control what you can do in the library.
However, OneDrive is free online personal storage that you get with either a Microsoft account or Outlook.com. Use OneDrive to save
documents, photos, and other files in the cloud, share them with friends, and even collaborate on content. You’re free to decide how you want to use it.
NOTE In the header or elsewhere on your SharePoint or Office 365 site, ‘OneDrive’ appears as an abbreviation of OneDrive for Business to keep things simpler.
If you use the OneDrive, we don’t need create new users, and we couldn’t use the AD account . OneDrive use the Microsoft account or Outlook.com.
For more information, you can have a look at the following article.

How to set up Sharepoint Online and OneDrive for business like shared path in local network

Hi!
I need to create in OneDrive for business or Sharepoint Online shared folder with documents that would be visible to all selected employees or all employees of the selected group.
How to make it through the admin panel of Office 365, not by creating a folder in any user's access and send invitations to each user by email?

Do you mean you want to map OneDrive for Business as a network drive? If so have a look at this technical article

Try mapping OneDrive for Business and team site libraries to network drives with Zee Drive, its easy!

When do files actually become flagged for syncronization in SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business

I have not been able to find an answer to this question. Currently, I use One Drive for Business via my Office 2013 Pro included client installed on Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit. For the most part, I've never had an issue and have been using it for almost a year
now with standard "flat" files. Recently, I decided to try moving my Quickbooks company file into One Drive to allow my accountant easy and up-to-date access.
So far so good; however, this posed a question I had not thought of before. When does a change in a file/folder become noticed and flagged for synchronization upstream?
Is it after "saving" a file or releasing/closing the open handle on it (hoping this is the correct thought)
Is it on a scheduled basis (doesn't appear so as it seems triggered and will attempt to sync as soon as I put a file in a managed location)
Is it when I open file and as I make changes to it they are being synced (hope not as this is a database of sorts)
I hope someone has a clearer understanding of the internal sync process or can point me to a whitepaper outlining the details.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Alex!
Certainly, as an example:
Under my top level site Collection:
/subsiteA has been created using the records centre template, and I have a document library: "test docs A" in this subsite.
In subsiteA I have a content type called "Test Content Type"
"Test Content Type" has a column "test column A" which is a basic text column.
When I upload a word document to this library, then open it again, I can see the "test column A" in the document metadata (which appears in Quick Parts). However, "Document ID Value" does not appear. If I run the same scenario
on /subsiteB (created using the team site template), Document ID Value does appear.
With regards to {_UIVersion}:
When I turn on an Information Management Policy and enable the Label feature, I can add {Version} to the field successfully. However, when I upload and open a document from the document library in /subsiteA, the "Label" metadata is inserted
in the word document, however the value is {_UIVersion}, rather than the numeric value of the sharepoint item version (ie, 3.2). When I do the same against /subsiteB, the "Label" metadata does contain the sharepoint item version correctly.
I installed the "SharePoint Manager 2013 Online" app to the library. As you say, it looks like the enableparser property is not anywhere to be found. The only difference I can see is: RootWeb->Webs->subsiteA.WebTemplate = OFFILE
whereas RootWeb->Webs->subsiteB.WebTemplate = STS.
I hope that makes some sense and thanks for the help!

Onedrive for business this library is not supported because it requires checkout

So installed a fresh install of Office 2013 from click to run on O365 this morning. Windows 7 Machine.
Tried to sync a library from SharePoint online using Onedrive for Business and got this error.
"this library is not supported because it requires checkout"
A number of users are already syncing this library with Office 2013 Onedrive for Business with out issue.
Any ideas anybody?

Having the exact same issue.
All of my clients are using OneDrive for business (desktop App on Windows 8.1) to sync site document stores. This has been working fine for a month (new system) without issue, until...
Thanks to some licencing fun, I've ended up uninstalling a few of my clients Office products, and re-installing them with a different Office 2013 package. As part of this process I had to use the following guide to install OneDrive manually, as the
Office Pro 2013 installer included the older SkyDrive.
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2903984?wa=wsignin1.0
All of the users I have had to perform this "downgrade" on can no longer sync a document store with a check out requirement set. As soon as I disable the requirement on the site's document store, the user can sync the document store without
issue. I can straight away re-enable the check out requirement, and the user will continue to receive changes, and sync changes they make (going through the Office check out/check in process)
All of the users still on the original office package installation have no problems if the requirement is set or not.
I have noticed a versioning difference between the two installations...
One of my original installations with OneDrive working 100%, sits at version "17.0.4023.1211"
The new installations using the guide above, install OneDrive straight to version "17.3.1171.0714"
Is this a Microsoft "Feature upgrade" to wave off some sync issues (I never had any)???

Onedrive for business: Shared with everyone issues

I
We've SharePoint 2013 and OneDrive for Business (on-premises..)
When user put a file on "shared with everyone" OneDrive folder, other users can't view it... Any idea ?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that “Shared with everyone” OneDrive folder does not work in your SharePoint 2013.
For your issue, please check whether everyone has the permission of accessing “Shared with everyone” OneDrive folder.
You can go to your OneDrive -> My Documents. Click Sharing column of “Shared with everyone” folder, make sure it is shared with everyone:

After installing SP Foundation 2013 (SP1) with Partitioned service applications we have noticed that while clicking on the "yammer and oneDrive" link the below error message comes up:

Help! Windows Explorer crashes regularly when using "SharePoint" directory synced with OneDrive for Business

We are using SharePoint 2013 and I want to sync document libraries with
OneDrive for Business with my PC running Windows 7.
In general, it works, but my Windows Explorer crashes very often (after a few minutes) when I navigate in the synced directories and open files there (or copy files into them in Windows Explorer).
How can I find out what happens and how to avoid it?
remark:
We are still using Office 2007, so I installed only OneDrive for Business from the Office 2013 DVD and
deactivated all other components like Office 2013 by hand:
(so for example, the shared office feature or MS Info Path etc. were not installed)
Is there a crash log, where I can find more information about the crash?
Does OneDrive maybe need other components to be installed and can I install them without damaging my existing Office 2007 setup?

Did you check your Event Viewer for any errors during the time when Windows Explorer crashed?
Thanks for this hint!
The Log file says the following, so it seems to be WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\btncopy.dll
to be responsible for the crashing Windows Explorer

Issues when trying to setup alternate sync location of OneDrive for Business / SharePoint 2013 Libraries

Hello,
I have an issue that prevents me from choosing the alternate location of sync'ed OneDrive for Business folders. I'm trying to setup an alternate location for synchronization, using the guidelines found in the Office support web site.
The option to replace the default sync location appears the first time a SharePoint 2013 Library or OneDrive for Business is setup for synchronization.
Here would be a link to a snapshot (since my account has not been verified): /Forums/getfile/443247
At this point, the Library or personal OneDrive folder syncs correctly and the files are stored in the alternate choosen location.
However, on when trying to setup an additionnal Library for synchronization, the alternate sync location has not been saved and reverts to the default sync location. Furthermore, the option to replace the default sync location does no longer appear
on the dialog box.
Here would be a link to a snapshot (since my account has not been verified): /Forums/getfile/443249
I have tried by first sync'ing a SharePoint 2013 Library (instead of the personal OneDrive for Business folder) with the same result. Meaning that the first SharePoint 2013 Library correctly sync's in the alternate location of my choosing. However,
any subsequent attempts to sync either a SharePoint 2013 Library or the OneDrive for Business folder results in them being sync'ed to the original default location in a folder under the user's profile directory.
I'm using Office Professional Plus 2013 (64bits). The version of Groove.exe is 15.0.4605.1000 (12th March 2014 - 13 383 360 bytes).
Is there something I'm missing ?
Thanks for any help on this issue.

Hi SpringComp,
You can change the root path for libraries you sync to your computer, though you can do this only if you’re not currently syncing any libraries. If you’re already syncing at least one library and you want to change the path, you must first
stop syncing all libraries. Then, the first time you run the OneDrive for Business wizard to sync a library to your computer, you’ll see an option to change the location.
More information, please refer to the link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/support/change-the-location-where-you-sync-sharepoint-libraries-on-your-computer-HA102893480.aspx
I hope this helps.

How to use OneDrive for Business mobile app with SharePoint 2013 on-premise?

Hi All,
I have a SharePoint 2013 (with latest December updates) that host a dedicated personal web site for users.
The OneDrive portal works fine and users are able to sync their files with the OneDrive client for Windows.
Now I want to test the OneDrive for Business mobile app on Android, but there is no option to specify the "personal" portal URL.
It asks only for domain credentials.
Does I need to configure specific records on my public DNS to allow mobile users to sync their files?
Thanks

I can confirm that with iOS you can connect to your SharePoint server through the advanced options.
But the very strange thing is that the OneDrive version for Windows Phone 8.1 is limited as the Android version.
This has no sense.
Why does Microsoft should limit the Business functions on its mobile operating system, and not on iOS?
Another strange thing is that configuring my Exchange account, Windows Phone 8.1 informed me that it has connected OneDrive for business (but is a fake information).
See attached image.
If I open the built-in OneDrive app, it give me the option to add a OneDrive for business account, but is only for Office 365 users (like with the Android version).
I thing that Microsoft should let at least to Windows Phone users to connect to on-premise SharePoint sites.

OneDrive for Business (on Premise) "we can't connect to the specified sharepoint site..."

Hello
We have SharePoint 2013 SP1 and CU Sept. 2014.
Problem:
When a User tries to sync with a sharepoint subsite, he gets the message above in the title until we give him at the minimum "read" permissions on the top level site collection.
https://sitecollection/subsite <-- sync not working until read on sitecollection
The subsite has its own permissions, it doesnt inherit anything.
I tried to recreate this issue in our lab. What i got was this:
http://sitecollection/subsite <-- sync doesnt work without read permission on sitecollection
http://sitecollection/sitecollection/subsite <-- sync
works fine even without read permission on any sitecollection (just edit on subsite)
The question is:
Why does it behave like this?
I dont want to give everyone "read" permission on the root site collection. It must be an other way to sync on subsites!
Thanks for any response! Any help appreciated!
Regards
SharePoint_Dude

Hi,
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, however the libraries in subsites can be synced with OneDrive for Business.
I recommend to check the permission of the user in the subsite to see if the user has
Use Remote Interfaces permission.
If not, please select this and then check the results.

Cannot view InfoPath Form on SHarePoint 2013 since I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive For Business

I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive for Business on my laptop. After that, I had problems opening a Word and Excel document in a SharePoint site (SP2013). After installing Service Pack2 from Office2010, this problem is solved.
But I still have the same problem with InfoPath. Whenever I click an InfoPath form (I have InfoPath 2010 on my laptop),...
... I get the error "cannot display web page".
When I change the URL
ms-infopath:ofe|u|http://intranet.water-link.be/samenwerken/awwit/Autorisaties/Gebruikersbeheer/2015-02-25%20Aanvraag%20gebruikersbeheer%20voor%20Stephanie%20Geeraerts.xml

I can open the InfoPath form and read it.
Any ideas about how to fix this ? I already tried to restore the Office 2010 via Control Panel - Install Programs but without any success...

Hi Gert,
As I understand, you can’t open InfoPath form in SharePoint 2013 unless you change the URL without “ms-infopath:ofe|u|”.
There are some reasons which maybe cause this issue, and you can try to do things below:
Access CA -> General Application Settings -> Configure InfoPath Form Service -> Check the two options in User Browser-enabled Form Templates.
Go into the registry by typing regedit from the Run line and rename the SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5 key (ex. SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5.old) under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
In library settings, click "relink documents to this library".

OneDrive for Business/SharePoint API - GET folders 'shared with me' if shared from a group/s.

Does anybody have any ideas of how to get the list of folders shared with a user from a group?
I can already retrieve files shared with a user from another user with:
https://{tenant}-my.sharepoint.com/_api/search/query?querytext='(SharedWithUsersOWSUSER: {account_name} AND contentclass:STS_ListItem_MySiteDocumentLibrary)'
but this end point does not show any of the files if they were shared from a group, is this possible with the REST API?
Thanks for any help in advance.

OneDrive for business App- On premises installation (Sharepoint 2013)

Hi,
Just needed clarification regarding One Drive for Business application on iPhone/iPad.
When I connect to internal corporate network, the application works fine. However when I go on external network, it gives an error that 'You are logged in but we can't access your settings'. Is there something I am missing? Same with One Drive for business
application for laptop.
It also works fine when I connect my iPhone/laptop on VPN.
We are using SharePoint 2013 (on premises installation). Do I need to get some subscription for business in order to get the app working over the internet? I know we need Office365 or sharepoint online in order to get the app working but it works fine when
I am connected to internal network or VPN.
We do have a public IP and URL for One Drive which works fine on any browser from external internet. So the problem is only limited to the application on Apple and Laptop (windows). We are using TMG.
Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks

Hi aso,
You may want to check the authentication types for SharePoint on-premise site internal and internet access, some authentication types are not supported, you can check if it is the case.

Sharepoint 2013 onedrive for business Ipad App

Hi
We have an on-premise sharepoint 2013 installation and we would like to achieve access to the private library/onedrive using some of our ipads. We have installed One drive for business connected to a VPN. We have put in the url of the
site, which is our intranet page, enter my domain credentials click sign in and get the message. There is a problem with your account. Please try again later
While connected to the VPN if I use the browser to the page it works and I can navigate to other parts of the intranet.
Am I missing something simple?
What should the internal address be like when trying to access onedrive?
Regards
Chris

The ODfB app for iOS will only work while on the WLAN. It doesn't work across any other connection, at least per https://support.office.com/en-US/Article/Use-the-OneDrive-for-Business-app-on-an-iPhone-or-iPad-a1dbdcda-19df-4c06-b908-29c10865d20d?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US#BKMK_SupportedAuthentication.
If you’re an Office 365 multitenant user, you can
connect from the OneDrive for Business app in any network environment, including Wi-Fi and cellular data. If you’re not using multitenant Office 365, you can connect only when you use your organization’s on-site Wi-Fi network.
