[URGENT] Is Password protected excel file allowed in SharePoint 2013?

Hi Everyone,
My boss wanted me to upload some sensitive files into the SharePoint. So I want to use the basic password encryption in Excel Option to create passwords for each one.
Due to the unclear rules of SharePoint, it has broken down for several times. So this time, I want to ask professionals first - Can I upload password protected spreadsheets into SharePoint?
Would Sharepoint allow that?
Thanks for your ideas!

Yes, I can confirm the protected Excel file, whatever the Workbook protect or Worksheet protect, would be allowed by SharePoint site and upload without problem.
Thanks.

  • HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007.  Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files.  The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
    These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files.  The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again.  I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
    FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
    It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files.  I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

  • Before I buy "numbers" can anyuser tell me if I'll able 2 open password protected excel files in 4S?

    Before I buy "numbers" can anyuser advise me from their experiences if I'll be able to open password protected excel files in iphone 4S?

    I haven't tried opening any password-protected Office files in Numbers or Pages on my iOS device, but I doubt that it can be done. Neither Numbers or Pages for the Mac can open them so it is extremely unlikely.

  • Recovery a password protect excel file.

    I have a password protected excel file and now it's corrupted and i can't open it. I tried to open_and_repair feature of excel2010 and different other stuffs, without success. I was wondering if there's a way to remove the password without opening the excel
    files (i know the password). In this way maybe it'll be easier to repair the file. Is there a way to do this? What other things i could try?

    Hi,
    There are several methods to recover Data in Corrupted Excel Files.
    We can use the following methods to troubleshoot problems with opening or using Excel
    files:
    Use a recovered copy of the document.
    Use the
    Open and Repair command.
    Save the file in HTML format.
    Save the file in XML Spreadsheet format.
    If a chart is linked to the corrupted file, use a macro to extract the data.
    For more information, please refer to the following link:

  • Password-protected Excel file

    I am trying to create a connection to a password-protected Excel 2003 file.
    When I go to Create New Connection/Access/Excel(DAO)/make New Connection - I enter the filename path, choose Excel 8.0 from drop-down, and click the box for Secure Logon, and I enter the database password in the first box that un-greys and then leave the other 3 blank.
    I get the following error message : "Logon Failed. Details DAO Error Code: 0xc59 Source: DAO Workspace Description: Could not decrypt file"
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You can use the Excel 8.0 Native Driver for Excel 97-2003 (.xls file extension) or use ODBC driver as well but the the only thing is you need to open the Excel workbook before connecting to Crystal Reports.
    Thanks,

  • Create a password protected excel file

    Hi everyone,
    I need to create a password-protect excel sheet using plsql.
    Please if some one could help me with this ??
    Regards,
    Riddhisha Khamesra

    there is no way directly from PL/SQL to make ExcelStarting with Office 2007, Excel's default file format uses the Open XML standard (ie basically a zip archive of XML and other media files).
    You can generate such files with pure PL/SQL, but adding password security is another story...
    - Using a protection at the workbook level requires the creation of an encrypted archive.
    - Using a protection at the worksheet level is easier because the password itself is embedded (in an encrypted form) into the sheet definition.
    Prior to Office 2007, there's the "XML Spreadsheet 2003" format. It opens the way to easy XML generation but it's limited (in particular, no password support, no macro etc.).

  • Password protected excel files in Sharepoint 2013

    We have an issue with excel sheets. After editing and saving, the tags on the document disappear.
    Basically one of my members uploaded the document. On first upload, she input the tags on it, and when she opened and editted and saved it, the tags disappear and also an error message came at the top.
    Please note that there is a macro and a password on the document.
    Please help !
    Regards,
    prajK

    Hi Prajk,
    I tried to reproduce the issue per the steps below, let me know if there is misunderstanding:
    Create an Excel file with Password.
    Upload the Excel file.
    Select the file and add tags.
    Click the Excel file, it says with Password enabled, I can only open it with Excel client application. So I open it with Excel, edit it and save again.
    Select the file and click Tags and Notes, the tag is there.
    I wonder if the issue can be reproduced on other Excel documents by her account. If you add a tag to the document item, does the issue still occur?

  • Send email with password protected zip file attachment

    Hi Experts,
    The requirement is to zip a password protected excel file and send the zipfile through email. There is no middleware(PI) involved. The program has to be run in background mode. It is possible to create a password protected excel file using OLE method, but it will not work in background mode.
    Also it is possible to place the zip file in application server, but I am not able to give password for this file.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Renjith Nair

    Hi,
    You have to write a customer adapter module to handle this requirement.
    Zip/Unzip can be done using the payloadzipbean standard module:

  • Convert Excel into Password Protected PDF Files

    Hello Aandi/Lenoard,
    I believe you are the Adobe Forums administrators so I thought you guys are the right people to approach.
    OTHERS ARE ALSO INVITED TO COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC.
    I have C# desktop app which generates Excel files and our goal is to convert these excel files one at a time into password protected PDF files. We use a 3rd party software currently, but I am challenging myself into saying that I can use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 SDK to achieve what is required .
    I have downloaded Acrobat 9.0 SDK and also have Adobe Professional 8.0(trail) in my development machine. Can you firstly tell me if this is possible and secondly what would be required on the client machines to run it?
    THanks,
    Andy

    "Encrypt with Password" is the policy name, not the policy id.
    Did you try enumerating the policy object to see how to set it up? I ran this from the console to get the policy details:
    var policy = security.chooseSecurityPolicy();
    for ( var i in policy )
    console.println(i + ": " + eval("policy." + i));
    That will pop up your list of policies. Choose "Encrypt with Password" and hit Apply, which returned the following:
    policyId: SP_STD_default
    name: Encrypt with Password
    description: This policy will allow you to set an open or modify password on a document.
    handler: Adobe.Standard
    target: document
    Of course, all you really need are the policyId, handler and target. Make sure you read and thoroughly understand the security requirements documented in the API reference for this method as well.

  • Will boot camp, VMware, or Paralles allow me to open a password protected powerpoint file?

    Everyting I'm reading says I have to use either a windows computer, or have the creator send the document to me as unprotected.
    Seems like if you didn't have access to a windows computer, and didn't have time to wait for the creator to send a new version, there would be a work around.
    I've moved over Mac, and am trying to convince my wife to do the same.  However, she's concerned that since she runs her legal firm out of her home office, she will run into situation in which can can get something done if she's on a Mac.  I almost had her convinced this would never happen, and then she got this password protected powerpoint that she had to share with another attorney, who responded to her that when she tried to open it, she got a message that it couldn't open a password protected document.  I tried it on my Macbook Pro and got the same message.
    Anyone know if there's an easy work around for this?
    (p.s. I saw a post where someone used NeoOffice for a similar situation with a password protected Excel document, but since I'm on Lion and it requires a $10 donation, I didn't want to shell out $10 just to find out it wouldn't work.)
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Yes... and it works...
    Because you really are running a full-up Windows inside a window running on Lion....
    VMWare emulates a hardware computer....   and you install Windows, then Microsoft Office for Windows...
    And  you end up with a "machine within a machine"...
    BUT...   BUT....
    You have to purchase one of each:
       VMWare Fusion
       Microsoft Windows
       Microsoft Office for Windows (not the same license as Microsoft Office for MAC..)
    This won't be cheap...  it will cost money...
    But I do it all the time... 

  • -I have a password protected excel spreadsheet, how can I get my iPads and iPhones to read this and save it password protected?

    I have a password protected excel spreadsheet, how can I get my iPads and iPhones to read this and save it password protected?

    Documents to Go says that it, "Opens password protected Excel 97-2008 files", but does not say whether it can save them as "password protected".
    This might work for you.

  • OBIEE 11g having problems with password protected PDF files.

    I have been able to get an analysis in OBIEE 11g to display PDF files.
    However, some of these documents contain sensitive information and must be secured. Since anyone with access to the file name
    could simply type in the proper path in the browser window, this is unacceptable. In order to try and prevent this, I created a pdf file
    that is protected with a password.
    Opening the file by itself, produces the desired results. The password is requested before the file will open.
    When I open the file through my analysis in OBIEE, Adobe reader activates, but the password is not requested and the file does not open.
    It is as if OBIEE is somehow not sensing that Adobee is asking for a password.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    FYI, in case anyone is interested, I found out what is going on.
    I created the original password protected PDF using Microsoft Word. I did this because I do not have a full version of Adobe Acrobat that allows me to create files.
    On a hunch, I found someone that has a full version of Acrobat, and had them create a password protected PDF file. This file worked perfectly.
    Apparently, Word is not strictly adhering to PDF guidelines, and OBIEE senses the differences, resulting in the file not opening properly.
    Something to keep in mind for anyone linking to password protected PDF files in OBIEE.

  • How to recover password Protected PDF Files

    Hi ALL,
    DO we have an option to recover password protected pdf files locked with acrobat.I didnt remember password's of some of my old pdf files
    Thanks,
    Mark
    http://infopeer.com

    I would just ask the 3rd party that created the PDF if they could supply unencrypted files. If there is some reason they will not, I am surprised that they have not restricted printing. Normally when Acrobat security is set, you can not print to a new PDF, even if printing is allowed. One option is to provide the ID and password to the other folks who need to review the PDFs. On the surface, there seems to be a license issue with what you are trying to do and you may need to be careful that the company is not at risk. That is why I am suggesting to coordinate with the 3rd party.
    Sorry. I don't have a solution but just the statement of concern.
