Question about renaming sync'd SharePoint Online document library with OneDrive Pro

If I have a site called http://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites/Department/Documents created as a document library subsite, the OneDrive Pro share will show it under "OneDrive @ My Company" as "Documents - Documents".
What would I need to change in order for the OneDrive sync'd view to show as "SubsiteName Documents - Documents"? 
Can I do this by just changing the title of the subsite's header (i.e. changing 'Documents' to 'Department Documents', or does the whole subsite path name need to be changed (i.e. /sites/Department/DepartmentDocuments/)?

You can invite people to your SharePoint site using External Accounts (Microsoft Accounts or other tenant Office 365 accounts) which there is no charge for.
Office 2010 will not currently impact your ability to use O356.

  • Connect to SharePoint Online Document Library from Excel

    We have a number of people in the field who fill out fairly complex evaluation forms in excel. These forms are submitted to a document library in SharePoint Online
    What I need to be able to do is report off these submitted excel files reading and consolidating specific data (they are all of a consistent format). There may be any number of excel sheets in the source document library
    Previously I would have done this using VBA but I cannot find a way of connecting to a sharepoint online document library from excel vba - I am open to other options

    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.

  • Workflow to change file permission in SharePoint Online Document Library

    1.What are my options with SPD 2013 If I want to change a documents file permission in a workflow?
    2.Where does SPO host 2013 Workfows?
    3.If connecting to SPO Can I use Worklow Manager 1.0?
    4.Will I need to host my Workflow Manager workflows on server or Azure if running against o365/SPO?
    5.If I wish to create SPO 2013 workflows with Visual Studio 2012, what do I need and will I be limited to actions I see in SPD 2013?
    ============================
    Thank You
    cyberpine.com

    You can host this workflow as a SharePoint App in SharePoint Online or use SharePoint Designer to create this workflow as long as you use the app step. Managing the permissions can be done with a REST call.  The initiator of the workflow must have
    been granted the right to "Manage Permissions" and the app must have full control of the Site Collection.   We have done so for several of our clients.   I know you asked this question some time ago, but I thought the info might still be helpful.

  • Why isn't my SharePoint online document library showing anything in the Title column for PDFs I upload?

    I've got a document library on my SharePoint Online site. I've enabled the Title column in the library view. When I upload Word documents, the title I entered into the document properties list (Word 2010, File > Info > Properties list > Title) appears
    in the Title column of my library in SharePoint. But when I upload the published PDF version (created from the same Word file using Word 2010 by File > Save As) to the library, there's nothing in the Title column. Why? Is SharePoint failing to read the
    metadata of the PDF file? Is Word 2010 failing to copy the metadata into the PDF file when it's created from the Word file?
    What's going wrong and how do I fix it?
    When answering, please keep in mind that I'm a SharePoint novice.
    Regards,
    Bruce Officer

    I think I've ruled out the possibility that Word isn't saving the Title property with the PDF when I convert to PDF using Word 2010's built-in Save As PDF command. I found a utility called Evermap AutoMetadata which shows all the metadata saved in a PDF
    file and the Title field is indeed present in the PDF, with the correct value. Windows File Explorer won't show that property as present, but AutoMetadata does. It now looks like SharePoint isn't reading that field for some reason. Does anyone know why, and
    what I should do about it?

  • SharePoint Online Document Library different upload process ?

    I'm pretty new to office 365.... Why is the document library different in terms of uploading ? What I mean is.. When I upload a document it doesn't give me the option to edit the properties first before it uploads the document.. ON the on-prem version
    when you upload you have the chance to define the item properties. Kindly please help ?
    AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY

    I am not 100% sure if this will answer you question as I also noticed on SharePoint Online that when none of your metadata are required metadata it upload the document to library rather than giving you an option to define values for those metadata as opposed
    ton on-prem will give you an option to define values regardless of metadata is required or not.
    One workaround you can use is to go to document library advanced settings and select YES to allow management of content type. Do not add or modify anything but turning that option to Yes will force document library to show you the metadata page after you
    upload the document.

  • 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.

  • Hiding the MS Word Web App toolbar in SharePoint Online Document Library

    Hi Guys!
    Badly needed your input on this scenario. I've created a document library in SharePoint Online but when I add a document I wanted the MS Word Web App toolbar to be hidden as I didn't want to have the document printed  and downloaded. Just
    want to have the file in read only mode.
    I've come across subscription to IRM of Office 365 as a solution but it's kinda expensive for this need.
    Any idea on how to resolve this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Venus

    Hi!
    Even if I give a view-only permission to the user, still the print button is available and the document can still be downloaded to PDF file.
    Also, the permission rights given to the users of the document library is contributor. But after routing for approval and the content is approved. It should be read-only even to the one who authored the document.
    I've checked also IRM for a solution but unfortunately what we have is E1 package so IRM is out of the option.
    Thanks,

  • Users are unable to synchronize document libraries with OneDrive for Business

    Hello,
    We are having an issue with our users attempting to synchronize document libraries with OneDrive for Business. When a user tried to synchronize the document library either via the "SYNC" button on the document library page using IE or by
    manually entering the document libraries path into the OneDrive for Business desktop app they receive the following error
    "We can't connect to the specified SharePoint site". The users have the Edit permission to both the site and the document library. I have performed the following actions in attempt to get the synchronization to work.
    1. Tested giving user the owner permission to the site and document library. same result.
    2. Performed a repair on the users Office 2013 installation.
    An interesting point to note is that I myself am able to synchronize the document libraries using both the "SYNC" button on the document library site and by entering the path manually in the desktop app. Difference between my account and the test
    accounts is that I'm a site collection administrator and farm administrator. Can anyone shed some light onto this issue?

    Hi Corey,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the users cannot sync document libraries with OneDrive for Business.
    I recommend to check the Permission Level to see if the Use Client Integration Features permission is selected.
    If not, check this permission in the corresponding permission level which is granted to the users.
    Please also check if the users have the right permission to sync the document library with OneDrive for Business.

  • Sharepoint 2013 Document Library MetaData Key Filter

    Hello,
    I created a document library with some fields like Client Name(text), Client Type(choice), Document Type(choice). After that  I would like to use that metadata to help me to search documents. I realized that only choice fields are included in the
    key filetr(Client type and Document Type). Is there any way to add the client Name in the Key Filter section, so I can search documents by client name also.
    I am not sure if this problem can be fixed using metadata key filter or I should create a folder structure in the document library to do what I need.
    If you have any advise about the best way to impolement this problem will be appreciate.
    Thank in advance.
    Jhonny Marcelo

    Yes you can do that. 
    You  need to add custom column to get indexed  and the use it on search results page. Try below:

  • Get Document ID based on specific folder in SharePoint 2013 document library

    Hi,
    I have created document library with multiple folders in SharePoint 2013.I have created workflow to assign file name convention like this "attachment name-ID".When i created document in one folder the ID is 1 and when I created document in another
    folder, the Id is 2.
    But my requirement is to create Id based on the folder means if document is not there in the folder then the document id should start from 1 and Id should ends within that folder and in another folder it should start from 1 again
    Any help?
    Thank you.

    In this case you will have to build a custom document id provider, see here:
    http://www.sharepointeurope.com/blog/2013/11/21/how-to-create-a-custom-document-id-provider-with-sharepoint-2013
    Here's code taken from that post that shows the minimal implementation of such a provider:
    using System.IO;
    using Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement;
    using Microsoft.SharePoint;
    namespace CustomDocumentIDProvider.Components
    class CustomDocumentIDProvider : DocumentIdProvider
    public override string GenerateDocumentId(SPListItem listItem)
    string retParam = "SPDocID-";
    string path = Path.GetRandomFileName();
    path = path.Replace(".", "");
    retParam += path.Substring(0, 8).ToUpper();
    return retParam;
    public override string GetSampleDocumentIdText(SPSite site)
    return "SPDocID-HT7G4SP7";

  • Which is better approach to manage sharepoint online - PowerShell Script with CSOM or Console Application with CSOM?

    Which is better approach to manage sharepoint online - PowerShell Script with CSOM or Console Application with CSOM?
    change in sharepoint scripts not require compilation but anything else?

    Yes, PowerShell is great, since you can quick change your code without compilation.
    SP admin can write ps scripts without specific tools like Visual Studio.
    With powershell you can use cmdlets,
    which could remove a lot of code, for example restarting a service.

  • Can't open MS Word .doc files from SharePoint 2013 document library?

    Hello,
    I have uploaded some MS Word files with .doc extension into a SharePoint 2013 document library, but they don't open when clicked.  I can do a number of things to the file, like view and edit properties, download and other things, but it does not
    open up when mouse clicked.  There are PDF files in the document library and they open up just fine.  Any ideas?
    I should add that MS Word 2010 .docx files can not be opened either.
    Thanks.
    Paul

    Hi,
    Whether you use office 2013.
    Considering this .doc file can be smoothly opened in Office if you downloaded it to your local, it indicates that the Word document and Microsoft Word doesn’t have any problems. The issue may be caused by the compatibility between Office
    and your site.
    1.Check whether you have the SharePoint OpenDocuments Class add on enabled at first.
    Internet Explorer >Tools iron > Manage add-ons >
    Choose to Show All add-ons. Find SharePoint OpenDocuments Class and make sure it’s enabled.
    2.go to Compatibility view settings > add your SharePoint site to compatibility view
    3.go to Internet Options,
    Advanced > Reset… > Check Delete personal settings and reset
    Security > Trusted sites > sites > add SharePoint sites to trusted sites
    4.If it doesn’t work, please open Word, go to Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Protected View > Uncheck all.
