Sharing Documents in SharePoint 2013

I have users that have created some documents in their personal SharePoint Site.   Example
http://eagleviewsocial/personal/ken_craig/Documents.  They are then trying to share those documents with me.  We have done this with a Excel document.  At first I could not access
this but was getting a message that I was able to find a resolution to.  I had to go into Central admin and add
http://EagleViewSocial and all sub folders to Excel Services Trusted locations.   Now I have share and Excel, Power View report, word doc with another users who just keeps getting error that user does not have
permissions to view that doc.  I show that he is shared for each one of the docs and it send the email to the users.  When he opens the email it opens IE on correct address but again fails with he does not have permissions.  What is going on
that is causing this.
Ken Craig

Hi Ken,
Based on your description, my understanding is that the users cannot view the documents after sharing the documents with them.
I recommend to verify the things below for troubleshooting this issue:
1.  Go to the OneDrive library in the MySite where the user shares the document with the account with issue to see if he can view the document by clicking into the document in the browser.
2.  Is the issue only occur with excel files? If yes, please check the permission of the Excel Service Application to see if the users have full control on the service application.
3.  Please also check the ULS log for detailed error message.
Thanks,
Victoria

  • Word Viewer will not open documents from Sharepoint 2013 in IE11

    I've run into an issue while trying to open documents from SharePoint 2013 after upgrading to IE11. My organization uses Word Viewer with the compatibility pack and all other Word documents (local files, intranet hosted) will open with no problems. When
    trying to open a Word document from SharePoint the Word Viewer will open, but the file does not. We have verified that all Windows Updates are installed. We have tried opening SharePoint in Compatibility View and Enterprise Mode. We have re-downloaded the
    latest version of Word Viewer and reinstalled it along with the compatibility pack. If we open the SharePoint site in Explorer view and then open a Word document it will open in Word Viewer with no problem. Excel and PowerPoint documents open from SharePoint
    with no problem. This is only affecting Word documents with Word Viewer. When using the full version of Word the documents open fine. Within SharePoint we have tried activating the site collection feature "Open Document In Client Applications by Default"
    but it made no difference. We're completely at a loss how to make this work as there doesn't seem to be much information specifically pertaining to issues with Word Viewer.

    Hi Victoria.
    1. The PCs do not have Microsoft Office installed, nor are we using the Office Web Apps. "Word Viewer" means the Microsoft Word Viewer application available here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4) that is available
    free for read-only viewing of Word documents.
    2. There are no errors when I open Word docs in Word Viewer. The Word Viewer application launches after clicking a Word document link in Sharepoint, but there is no file open in it. When that happens the IE11 Sharepoint window on the taskbar is flashing
    yellow, but when I click back to it there are no messages or alerts to click on.
    3. This issue does occur with all Word documents (.doc, .docx) in SharePoint. However, it does not occur when opening Word documents in the Word Viewer when they are local files or through IE11 from a non-SharePoint website like our local intranet.
    Those files will open with no problem in Word Viewer.
    4. I will try to get a screenshot, but we are working on creating images for deployment and I don't currently have a machine configured the same way. I'll work on reconfiguring one and post a screenshot.
    Thank you for your help!

  • Saving/Opening documents to SharePoint 2013 from within Office 2010 applications

    I was hoping that Office 2010 would work nicely together in terms of saving to and opening documents from SharePoint 2013. Alas, I was disappointed and somewhat surprised to see that opening/saving documents in SharePoint from within Office still
    involves copying, pasting and hacking the URL of the document library in the Save or Open dialogue box. I was fully expecting that Office 2010 would have display some sort of SharePoint navigation so you could view your sites and document libraries in a similar
    way to folders. A mature document management system this ain't!
    Anyone have any advice on how to improve the Open/Save to/from SharePoint experience in Office 2010? I'm open to the idea of Office add-ins whether third party or official Microsoft.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the reply, but that's from within SharePoint, not Office?
    An example scenario: I create a new document or receive a document, I'm in the document, and I want to publish the document to a document library in SharePoint. At the moment I would have to save the document, load up SharePoint, navigate to the document
    library and then go through the upload process.
    I should really be able to, from within Word, select File - Save to SharePoint (say) and then be able to navigate to the document library I want to publish to. Really basic DMS stuff that I'm surprised isn't there!
    Similar thing to opening a document. I should be able to Open from SharePoint, navigate to the document library via some sort of navigation box, and open it.
    Thoughts appreciated.

  • How can I Hide(not Disable) the Save As and Exit options in the File menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013?

    Hi,
    I want to hide(not disable) the "Save As" and "Exit" options in the File Menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013.When I make changes in the excelribbon.css file of xlviewer.aspx,all the options under File menu are getting hidden but
    I want to hide only these two options while retaining the others.
    Kindly suggest me a method to achieve this.
    Looking forward to your reply at the earliest.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sanjana

    Hi Sanjana,
    To hide the “Save As” and “Exit” options in xlviewer.aspx page in SharePoint, I recommend to use the code below(however it is not recommended):
    <style>
    div.cui-menusection li.cui-menusection-items:nth-child(2)
    display:none !important;
    div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_menuJewelSaveAs{
    display:none !important;
    div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_msJewelSecondary{
    display:none !important;
    </style>
    As “:nth-child()” selector is supported in IE 9 and later versions, please use IE 9 or later versions’ IE browser.

  • Office Web Apps - Preview Sharepoint 2010 documents in Sharepoint 2013 Search Results...again

    Hi,

    ...With the answere:
    "OWA uses an access token to talk to SharePoint 2013.  It cannot use this when talking to 2010.  In order to work with 2010, you have to create a custom display template that converts the file url to an openurl link. "
    BUT...
    may anyone give more information how to do this?
    Links to articles? Links to description and samples?
    jik

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to preview documents from SharePoint 2010 in search results in SharePoint 2013.
    Per my knowledge, the Office Web Apps is configured to work with SharePoint 2013, so it will not work with documents in SharePoint 2010.
    I recommend to configure Office Web Apps to work with SharePoint 2010
    and make sure that documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2010 using Office Web Apps to see if the documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2013 search result.

  • Is it supported to use shared mailboxes in SharePoint 2013 Workflows?

    We try to send an email to a shared mailbox (Exchange 2007) from a workflow in SharePoint 2013. No errors are shown in the workflow but the message does not arrive in the mailbox. If we do the same with an user mailbox it works.
    Both Exchange and SharePoint are on-premises.
    Is it supported to use shared mailboxes in SharePoint 2013 Workflows?

    If it is a mailbox then mail should be delivered.
    Please check if mail is in C:\Inetpub\ pickup or drop folder

  • Multiple File Attachment Column in Document Library (SharePoint 2013)

    Hi All,
    As per default, i will have only one column to attach documents in Document Library . But i need to add multiple column for documents attachment in same row.
    e.g. See below column
    1)Project Name    2) Attachment 1      3) Attachment 2          4)Attachment 3       5)Attachment 4     
    Kindly help me for creating such column (Hope there should be any coding requirements)

    Hi Vrij,
    According to your issue what my understanding that  if you need multi-document attachment is required then
    then its not possible by default  because As we had known, the Upload Multiple Documents option is deprecated in SharePoint Server 2013.
    To work around this issue, my suggestion is  do one of the following to upload documents to the SharePoint Server 2013 document library:
    Use the Windows Explorer view
    Use the SharePoint Server 2013 drag-and-drop functionality
    http://www.learningsharepoint.com/2012/11/29/how-to-upload-multiple-documents-in-sharepoint-2013/
    If you still want to use this function, there are some third-part software's you can have a look at.

  • Word 2013 slow to open documents from SharePoint 2013

    Hi all,
    Word 2013 running on a Windows 8.1 client is take 2 or more minutes to open a document from SharePoint 2013. Excel takes less then 10 seconds from the same site in SharePoint.
    I have remove all proxy configuration from IE, clear the Auto Detect Settings. Added the URL's to the intranet zone and disabled all IE addons. I have also performed a reset on IE, reinstall of Office and tried a number of workstations. All have the same
    issue. The document just take forever to open.
    Checking with Fiddler, I can see 3 requests hit the SharePoint server then nothing... after a few minutes the document opens.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers
    Craig

    Hi Craig,
    For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
    1.Open IE, go to "Tools > Internet Options > Connections > Lan Settings" and uncheck "Auto Detect Proxy".
    2.From the File tab in Word application, select Options and then click on Advanced and then in the Display section of the dialog, check the box for
    Disable hardware graphics acceleration.

  • Access local shared folder through Sharepoint 2013

    Before we installed Sharepoint 2013 everyone within the company was sharing files and folders through a shared drive that is mapped to all the workstations. This shared folder on the server is very large, roughly 250gb in size. 
    I created a Sharepoint site called Document center using a Sharepoint template. Is there an easy way to either upload all those files and directories int sharepoint?
    Or even easier, create a link on the sharepoint site that can connect to this shared drive so users can access these files.

    You can use a data migration tool from a 3rd party, such as Metalogix, Metavis, AvePoint, or ShareGate to migrate file share content into SharePoint with the metadata (created by, last modified, etc.) intact. You can also use WebDAV (\\sharepointsite\) and
    copy them in, but the metadata will be lost.
    As far as integrating the file share into SharePoint, take a look at AvePoint's File Share Integration tool (http://www.avepoint.com/assets/pdf/doc6/DocAve_Connector_for_SharePoint_File_Share_Integration.pdf). This is the only one I'm aware of.

  • Opening/Saving documents from SharePoint 2013 in Firefox/Chrome bypasses Check Out and Check In

    My clients have an Office365 installation with SharePoint 2013.
    When I navigate to the site in IE and click on a checked-in document, it opens in Microsoft Word with a message
    Server document  To modify this document you must check it out
    with a Check Out button alongside.
    However, if I navigate with Firefox or Chrome and click on the same link, it just downloads the document to the browser's default download location.  If I then open the document in Word, there is no
    Server document warning and it is entirely writeable and it's also lost its link to the document library.
    Is the work-around for this that one cannot use Firefox or Chrome with SharePoint, or is there some setting in these browsers that will bypass the download and load the document directly into Word?
    Thanks
    Edward

    Does anyone have a better fix for this?  We are attempting to launch support for a second browser - Chrome - but because of the issue with Office 2010 on the clients, the protocol handler from Chrome fails to connect the requested document directly
    to the MS Office app, but rather downloads the file.  IE Tab is not an option because it then defeats the purpose of having Chrome altogether since it simply uses IE8's engine.  IE8's performance with large lists on SharePoint 2013 as well as the
    HTML5-based functionality is simply dreadful which is the primary driver for an alternative browser.
    We are aware installing Office 2013 on a machine fixes it, but that is not an option due to the current licensing.
    Hope for Chrome 31?  Firefox seems to work fine in our testing, but the organization wants to go Chrome instead of FF.

  • Problem opening documents from SharePoint (2013) libraries with Office 2010 and 2013 components installed

    Hi
    I've been encountering the problem of Office files failing to open from SharePoint 2013 libraries with the prefix of 'ms-excel:ofv|u|' etc. in the url. Following the
    helpful questions and answers in the forum, I've identified the likely cause as the fact that my main Office installation is 2010, but I also have installed OneDrive for Business 2013 (which I need in order to sync document libraries with my local drive).
    The solution I've seen suggested elsewhere of deactivating the SharePoint integration of Office 2013 components fails for two reasons: there is no way (or at least, I can't find one) of deactivating SharePoint integration probably because, deactivating
    SharePoint integration would likely stop the syncing of libraries/folders.
    One thing that I have noticed in my case that I've not seen mentioned elsewhere is that if I right-click a document and select 'open in new tab/window' the required
    document opens directly in the relevant office package. I don't know if this is a useful observation, but it seems to be new information.
    My question is, is there a way I can continue to sync libraries and open Office documents directly in Office 2010? My thoughts are possible changes to registry settings
    (which I can do, but don't know enough to find the correct ones myself) or (re)installation of software in some appropriate order to leave the correct settings.
    I have 'repaired' my Office 2010 installation without any observed affect on behavior.
    Thanks
    Ray
    (I've just seen a suggestion that Office 2010 SP2 may fix this issue. I've requested to test this, but whilst this may fix my problem, rolling it out to
    other users may be more problematic. In the meantime, other suggestions of solutions are welcome)

    Hi,
    According to your description, it is a good way to do a test about office 2010 SP2, here is an article about this issue- limitations of using the OneDrive for Business sync app with Office 2010 applications , it may help you.

  • Unable to open a word document in SharePoint 2013

    Dear all,
    We are using SharePoint Foundation 2013 with Office Word 2010. Uploading an updating a document in SharePoint generally works fine.
    We have a word document uploaded to SP on which we work a lot. I uploaded it yesterday and continued to work on the document. This morning when I wanted to open the document I get the message from Word: "Could not open 'http://xxxxxxxxx/sites/documents/General/document.docx'
    (where xxxx is the name of the server).
    This is the second time that we have this issue.
    Except this message there is nothing on SharePoint log site.
