Skydrive pro and powershell

Hi guys,
just wondering if there was any powershell cmdlets for controlling syncing with skydrive pro? I would prefer to automate the setup process rather than have our users click on the sync button
thanks

SkyDrive Pro and SharePoint 2010

Why SkyDrive Pro can no longer sync SharePoint 2010 libraries? I was using Windows 8 with Office 2013 and SkyDrive Pro had no problems with synchronizing content from SharePoint 2010. Now I installed Windows 8.1 with Office 2013 and it doesn't work anymore.
Is there any way to fix it? My colleagues (with Windows 8 and Office 2013) still can synchronize content from SharePoint 2010.

Note that SkyDrive Pro does not support SharePoint 2010 so any issues you have with it won't be looked at by Microsoft.

Skydrive Pro doesn't remember saved credentials (FBA) and gives "script error" on login

I'm having some trouble with authentication with Skydrive Pro and an on-premises Sharepoint Foundation 2013 deployment.
Sharepoint is configured with forms-based authentication to an AD LDS instance using a 3rd party LDAP provider.
There are two issues:
1) Skydrive Pro doesn't appear to save credentials - After a while (or frequently after a reboot), Skydrive Pro will re-prompt the user for credentials. Checking the "Remember me" box appears to have no effect. The site is in IE's trusted site list
with the "Logon with current user/password" option checked. Are there any other steps I should be taking to make Skydrive Pro permanently save credentials?
I have seen a few pages about changing the "timeout" setting in a web.config file, but I'm not sure which of the many web.config files I would use. The <authentication mode="Forms"> blocks that I found while looking through didn't
have a timeout attribute set at all. I've also read something about setting the SlidingExpiration attribute, but am also unclear whether that's related or where I would go about putting it.
2) Skydrive Pro presents the normal Forms-based log-in page in a new window to the user to enter their credentials. After entering them, the window doesn't close - instead, the window tries to render the home page of the sharepoint site. It only shows the
colored top bar and a button that says "Skip Ribbon Commands." It then presents a pop-up titled "Script Error" from the browser that says:
An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: 150
Char: 1
Error: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: http://domain.com/_layouts/15/start.aspx
It asks whether to continue running scripts on the page. If the user closes the popup and the browser window, Skydrive Pro appears to work and sync as normal - but the error messages are annoying and scary to the end user.
Line 150 from the referenced start.aspx:
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="document.getElementById('startNavigation').focus();" class="ms-accessible ms-acc-button" accesskey="Y">Skip Ribbon
Commands</a>
Any way to remedy this?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Aaron,
I'm having this exact same issue and was wondering if you were able to figure this out?
Thanks!

Documents in a shared "SkyDrive Pro" (Sharepoint) folder makes office applications to hang.

Hello,
I asked the following question in the Office365 community but they could not help me any further and they told me to ask the question here. For the original thread look here: http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/172/p/212129/655853.aspx
Office version: Office Pro 2013 (365 ProPlus)
Windows version: Windows 7 Pro.
We are using a shared folder on "places" in SharePoint Online with some shared documents we edit from different places. But sometimes when using documents on the drive applications like Excel and Word hangs, and then you have to reboot or kill a couple
of "winword.exe" or "excel.exe" to get them to work again.
I don't know why those "shadow processes" are there, but the problem is only when working with documents on the SkyDrive Pro.
Sometimes when you save to Skydrive the applications hangs and you have to kill the process.
The document seams to be saved tough.
Kind Regards,
Noiden

Hi Noiden,
Please exit your Skydrive Pro and try to use the command %SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\Groove.exe /clean /all stated in the KB article below to check if it helps:

Using "Shared with Everyone" on Skydrive Pro

Hi,
Two users in the same organisation using Office 365
Both open Skydrive Pro and place files in their "Shared with Everyone" folder (thats he one that displays the words "Everyone in
companyX can access the documents here")
However in the folder both users can only see their own files.
How do these users see and access each others files?
{Also - I have also tried creating folders under each user and sharing them with the other user. Still each user can only see they're own files and folders.}
(from reading other posts currently the best answer looks like "use Google Drive" - surely there must be a way using Skydrive/Sharepoint?)

Hi,
Here is the link to the “Documents shared with me” feature in SharePoint 2013 environment, it provides a holistic overview of all documents shared with me. Thus the user is automatically informed of shared documents without leaving the current working context.
All documents shared with me are displayed in a result stream.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/store/documents-shared-with-me-WA103998117.aspx
Please go to http://mycompany/myteam and click the Setting icon > Add an app > Find an app > type the tag WA103998117 and click search > check out the result in the SharePoint Store if needed > select
language on the top right corner > Add it.

On-premise SharePoint 2013 and SkyDrive Pro Sync Issue

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum between SharePoint and SkyDrive as the issue is related to an update on SkyDrive Pro.
premise SharePoint 2013 installation (migrated from 2010) and Office 2013 installed. SharePoint is patched up to the latest CU. Syncing documents from SharePoint worked fine until KB2817495 was installed. The syncing still seems to work but we cannot add
any new libraries, either directly from the browser using the "sync" button or adding the URL to "Sync a new library". I've tested it with an Office 365 account and the libraries add fine so I'm not sure whether it's a SkyDrive or SharePoint
issue. If I uninstall the update then I can successfully sync new libraries from our on-premise installation.
At this point the only solution I can see is to prevent that update from installing via WSUS.
Kind regards,
Rick

Hi
anuxps ,
Yammer already have Single Sign On with Office 365, but SharePoint Server for on-premise does not follow a 90-day release cycle and it won’t yet. Also we are looking for Yammer integration with on-premise
soon. There are improvements coming.

Login ID best practice. Windows 8, Office 365 with SkyDrive and SkyDrive PRO

I have had many confusing issues with multiple and conflicting ID's. I have just spent 3 hours online with MS technical support to discover that a document can be edited in Word and saved to Sharepoint365 but if it is synched with the
desktop and that one is edited then the local signon sets the wrong permissions and the upload centre fails.
I have two MSOL Office/365 accounts, both Enterprise level with SkyDrive Pro.
I have two Live accounts, both with SkyDrive.
I am using Windows 8 so need to signon with a live ID or local and non-linked account.
Assuming I configured;
1. W8 user account with Live ID AAA and only used MSOL/365 Account BBB in a session.
2. W8 user account with Live ID ZZZ and only used MSOL/365 Account XXX in a session.
Would that be okay?
1. Should I be able to access AAA Skydrive and BBB SkyDrive Pro in the same session?
2. If I synch SharePoint folders from a BBB session should I be able to edit them directly in word, with user account BBB active and be able to save okay?
Cheers, Richard
RC

In Windows Live you could create alias account which means you have one Windows Live Account but login with multiple email. You create one account and then link Office365 account as alias to it. You could have one Windows 8 account and different Office365
account too.
You could also configure your Office365 account to use your Windows Live Id and login with that account.

SkyDrive Pro - Renaming folders and sync locations

I'm trying to understand the SkyDrive Pro feature. Of course it ain't really SkyDrive as all references point to the old Groove application. I like how Groove moved from Groove --> SharePoint Workspace --> SkyDrive Pro..
I can change the Sync location via the UI like explained here:
Change the location where you sync SharePoint libraries on your computer
This doesn't help if I want to rename the sync folder of document libraries on my local drive.
There's two problems I have with the local folders:
The sync folder name is trimmed to 35 characters. That makes it hard to distinguish different document libraries from the same site if the site name is long. I currently have a set of folders named like so: "<long sitename> ... - Doc" and
"<long sitename> ... - Pro". These libraries are actually called "Documents and "Protocols".
Different O365 Tenants create different root folders.
I m now wondering about problem one. I have found the Access (!) Sync DB under C:\Users\gaida\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\OfficeFileCache\CentralTable.accdb (no google results yet on the architecture). In that Sync DB I found all local locations
under the SubCache table as well as the OutgoingEvents. Changing the local locations there doesn't work - SkyDrive Pro forgets about the folders right away and I have to re-synch them. That means those locations are not the right way to change stuff.
Has anyone any more insight information on how SkyDrive Pro works? I also found the secret Telespaces path with the *.xss files - these also look promising, are not editable with a text editor though.
Basically my question is how SkyDrive Pro works and how I can rename the local sync folders.

Clearing up the subject of SkyDrive Pro once and for all

Ok. So after reading many web pages, I get the point that 'SkyDrive Pro' is completely different to the consumer version of SkyDrive, and that the 'SkyDrive Pro' designation is really a fancy word for 'My Sites' within Sharepoint. I also understand that
storage within an on-premises Sharepoint server setup is local and controlled locally and is where data is housed for users when they navigate to 'SkyDrive Pro' within the browser.
So, my question is...is it possible to sync data between on-premises server and a device when out on the road? Is it possible to make the Sharepoint server accessible to external clients?

Device sync with SkyDrive Pro can only be done with Office 365 (SharePoint Online), e.g. iOS, Android, etc. Only the Windows desktop client of SkyDrive Pro can currently sync with on-premises SharePoint.

Skydrive and skydrive pro now same email and not working

Hi,
I have tried posting this on a few of the forums and keep getting sent somewhere else. Can anyone here help me?
For the last couple of weeks we have been setting up our new Office 365 during this time we have been using skydrive and skydrive pro without any problems. Last Friday we set up our Outlook and change our login from onmicrosoft to our
actual emails eg *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. We are now able to receive our emails and login without any problem. However our SkyDrive and SkyDrive Pro are not syncing with our computers. If we open a file in our SkyDrive
PRO folder it will not save to our online file. If we try to login it will go no further than the screen to accept our email login. You hit NEXT and nothing happens or it says that it does not recognise that account. If we log into the dashboard
we can view our skydrive pro but it is no longer able to sync with our computers. Is it because we now have an email address doing both accounts?

You'd better post the question to Office 365 forum. I've found the thread with the similar topic on that forum:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/154/p/185309/547354.aspx
You can try to re-establish the connection between your SkyDrive Pro to your local copy. Please note that this action will create a completely new set of synced file locally and may take time to load
depending on the amount of files to be synced.
1. Right click on the SkyDrive Pro icon from the taskbar > click
Stop syncing a folder > select the folder you are currently syncing on (or choose all), then click Stop Syncing.
2. Open a web browser and navigate to the library you want to sync or go to your SkyDrive Pro tab from the blue menu, click the
Sync icon on the upper right corner of the page to start syncing the file. Then check if your files started to sync in your locally.
Hope this helps.

Loaded app SkyDrive Pro onto my ipad when I try and sign in tells me the details are incorrect, but I know they are correct, any ideas how to fix

I downloaded a SkyDrive Pro app but cannot get it to recognise by sign om, even though it is correct.

From Apple Support...
Here are troubleshooting steps that should help you fix the problem.
1) Quit App Store in multi-tasking.
2) Tap Settings.
3) Tap Safari.
4) Tap Clear History.
5) Tap the Clear History button.
6) Tap Clear Cookies and Data.
7) Tap the Clear Cookies and Data button.
Try purchasing an app again from the device to get the security question prompt. You really need to set up the security question.
...it seems to have worked for me.....

Problems with Event Receiver and SkyDrive Pro Document library

I wrote an event Receiver that implements the ItemUpdated (but the Synchronous one) event. I basically modify docx files content. When the library has versioning enabled, I first move the SPFile to a hidden library that does not have versioning, I update
it, and then I move back to the original library to avoid creating a new version for this file.
This works fine in the standard case (e.g. standard Document Library), but for Document Libraries that belong to SkyDrive then when I upload files using the SkyDrive Pro utility (that is, the utility that synchronizes files from "C:\Users\Administrator\SkyDrive
Pro\Shared with Everyone" to the server) there in an error reported by the Upload Center since it seems that as the file content is modified in the server and is different than the local copy then it does not like this situation. If you open the file
using the Upload Center then word asks you to keep the version in the server, or the version that is local.
Any way to bypass this?
Thanks

Hi,
From the description, the issue seems to be that the event receiver fires in the SkyDrive library, but the SkyDrive folder where you met the error message isn't synchronized to the server.
If so, this will be the default behavior, have you checked the workflow? You may consider copy the document to document library using workflow, update the document in the library using event receiver or workflow, then copy back to the SkyDrive
library.
If it isn't the issue, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

Enable Sharepoint 2013 SkyDrive Pro Synch for some site

Good day,
How do you enable SkyDrive pro for some libraries, i have only found the switch that enables for all or for none. Can this be configured via Powershell ? and how thanks

Hi Franciske,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to sync multiple SharePoint 2013 libraries with SkyDrive Pro.
For enabling SkyDrive Pro for some SharePoint libraries, you can click ‘SYNC’ at the top of SharePoint web site, then you can select which library is synchronized to SkyDrive Pro. Or you can use SkyDrive Pro directly by right-clicking it and selecting ‘Sync
a new library’, then type the URL of the library that you want to sync.
You only sync one library to SkyDrive Pro at once time. So , for synchronizing multiple libraries, you need to sync multiple times.
More information, please refer to the links:

Is there an app for SkyDrive Pro

I would like to access my skydrive Pro account using an app instead of going to my office 365 account and then going to skydrive. I was hoping the app would let me drop files to it.
Is there an app and or instructions on using skydrive Pro on an iPad/iPhone
Thanks!!!

According to Paul Thurrott, a Skydrive Pro app for iPhone/iPad is coming. http://winsupersite.com/office-2013/office-365-skydrive-pro
