Use my local drafts folder - Some Yes, Some No

Hello,
I have recently upgraded to MOSS 2007.  When checking out a file some of my users get the prompt to use my local drafts folder and some do not.  Does anyone know why not all users are getting this prompt?
Thank you,
Dan

Hi,
If the program that you want to use to edit the file is compatible with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, you may see a message that asks if you want to work with the file as a local draft. If you want to work on a copy of the file on your hard disk, leave the “Use my local drafts folder” check box selected. If you want the draft copy to be stored on the server while it is checked out to you, clear the check box.
If you are checking out a file that was created by a program that isn't compatible with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, the Use my local drafts folder check box does not appear and you cannot work with the file offline
For more information about Check out file, please refer to: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/HA101535701033.aspx

  • Missing "Use My Local Drafts Folder" Checkbox

    We work with Office 2010 32 bit and SharePoint 2010. After we update the Lync to 2013 version, we find in SP at check out "Use My Local Drafts Folder" checkbox does not appear any more. I read this article
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/27e03f00-7549-4ca9-8973-9620ce40a78c/no-checkbox-appears-in-dialong-box-to-use-local-drafts-folder?forum=sharepointadminprevious, it said The “Use my local drafts  folder” functionality has
    been removed for Office  2013. Actually we didn't install Word, Excel 2013.... But since Lync 2013 belongs to Office 2013 now, perhaps during install of Lync 2013 some office 2013 features or components have been also installed.
    I need a workaround, because we don't plan to update to Office 2013 and SharePoint 2013. Can I uninstall some office 2013 components to active "Use My Local Drafts Folder" again?  

    I have found the solution. I uninstall the "Office Shared Features" and "Office Tools" from Lync 2013 and keep just Lync 2013 component. Then I have repaired the Office 2010. After that I see "My Local Drafts Folder"
    again and Lync 2013 works also. Yeah :-)

  • Error discarding checkout when 'Use my Local Draft folder' is checked

    We are getting the error 'The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT 0x80070002)' when discarding checkouts in our production 2010 environment. Steps to repro are:
    upload a file to a document library (OOB Shared Documents is fine)
    check the document in the library view
    Choose 'check out'
    Check 'Use my local drafts folder' when prompted, if it is not checked by default
    Once checked out, check the box again and choose 'discard check out'
    After the browser hangs for a bit, we get the error above.  We've reproed this on multiple machines, but mine is 64bit Windows 7 with IE 8.
    Browsing to 'SharePoint Drafts' on the client machine confirms the file is present.  I suspected UAC or Protected Mode, based on similar issues posted online about SP 2007.  However, I've confirmed protected mode is off for this site, and it is
    listed as 'Local Intranet', with the default settings for that zone.

    Hi danroot,
    Please send the screenshot of the error into the forum.
    What is your Internet Explorer’s version? Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?
    If you use 32 bit, try to use Internet Explorer 64 bit, then check the effect.
    Which account did you use to log into the client and SharePoint site? Are they the same account?
    Make sure the account who log into the client has enough permission the “SharePoint drafts” folder.
    Try to use another account to log into the SharePoint site, check the effect.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • SharePoint "Use my local drafts folder" not to be displayed

    Hi,
    Is it possible to prevent SharePoint from displaying “Use
    my local drafts folder” dialog box and
    disable this option on default so users won't be able to store files locally?

    I see a similar thread here - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f7e2ee0d-92ff-4bfe-95e7-1ba7b95514cc/disable-the-use-my-local-drafts-folder-option-in-sharepoint-2010-open-document-dialog-box?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
    which mentions that You can not directly edit that dialog (it's an activex control client side). But you can set
    group policy to modify the office client behavior

  • No checkbox appears in dialong box to "use local drafts folder"

    Using Windows 8.1, ,Word 2013, and IE 11.  When I edit a document from SharePoint Foundation 2010 (Hosted), no checkbox appears in the Microsoft Internet Explorer dialog box to "use local drafts folder".  As a result, no SharePoint
    Drafts folder is created in the location specified under Word 2013 Save Option for offline editing and the SharePoint file is not downloaded locally.  I performed the following troubshooting steps below with no fix so far. 
    1) Confirmed that "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" is "enabled" as an add-on under IE.
    2) Confirmed that Word 2013 Save setting for offline editing are marked as follows:
     Save checked-out files to “The server drafts location on this computer”
     Server draft location: \\users\xxxx\documents\SharePoint Drafts
    3) Tried the SharePoint checkout and editing on a Windows 7, IE 11, Word 2010 workstation and there was no issue.  Checkbox appears. 
     I've exhausted all resources.  Please assist with providing next steps. Unable to load a Screen shot below due to account validation critieria.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to display the “use local drafts folder”.
    In Office 2013 it is by design.
    The “Use my local drafts
    folder” functionality has been removed for Office
    2013. 
    This step has been done in order to improve the Client/Server communication by removing some of the redundant network calls generated by this process.
    In order to get office files synchronized with SharePoint document libraries you could
    use SkyDrive Pro instead.
    SkyDrive Pro is getting installed with Office 2013 but is available as a standalone setup as well.  But please note that SkyDrive Pro requires to have a SharePoint server
    2013 installed or a O365 subscription, which brings SPO
    2013.
    If you want to use the “use my local drafts folder”, you should install the Office 2010 instead of Office 2013.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.

    Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.
    Summary :
    We are using SharePoint 2010 Ent edition and users were able to checkout Pdf files similar to local drafts folder like any other office file without any problem when they used office 2010.
    i.e
    Unfortunately ever since their machines upgraded with office 2013 recently , this functionality completely stopped working for PDF files. This has now become a big problem for the users when it comes to check out and replace PDF files.
    All browser plugins required for this functionality (i.e    SharePoint OpenDocuments Class ) are all available and active. All document libraries are configured to Checkout is required for editing files. Browser version
    used at the moment is IE9 (32 bit) version with windows 7. 
    Can anyone please help with this issue and any help to get away with this problem is much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
    Did this issue occur with Office files?
    I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
    And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
    Thanks,

    While the steps below are fine for Word (and I gather that Excel, Powerpoint have similar steps), what
    about Project 2007?  We have Project 2007 SP3, and (a) it doesn't have an Office Button like the core Office 2007 products, and (b) the SharePoint Local Drafts folder isn't listed in the Save options.  Please advise!
    -Joe
    Hi,
    You can change the location of your local drafts folder where your files are placed while they are
    checked out to you in Office system program: click “Microsoft Office Button”>select “Word Options”>select “Save”>in
    Offline editing options for document management server files> in Server drafts location
    box, type the location on your hard disk where you want to work with checked-out files, or click
    Browse and find the location.
    This article has detailed steps:

  • Office 2013 vs SharePoint 2010 - Unable to check out documents to SharePoint drafts folder

    My company is foisting Office 2013 on us without upgrading SharePoint 2010 Enterprise. One of the issues I have discovered since receiving Office 2013 is that SharePoint no longer provides the option to save checked out documents to my local drafts folder.
    This is despite having Office set to save checked-out files to the server drafts location and the Office Document Cache Handler enabled in IE9. Is there a registry setting or something I can change that will re-enable this feature?

    Hi Nellie,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to re-enable the add-on Office Document Cache Handler in IE9.
    We can re-enable the add-on in IE9 using Group Policy:
    Launch the Group Policy Editor. 
    Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Security Features > Add-on Management > 
     Add-on List.
    Set this policy to 'Enabled'.
    In the Add-on List, add the CLSID of BHO (Browser Helper Object) (i.e.) {B4F3A835-0E21-4959-BA22-42B3008E02FF} as the ‘Value Name’ and 1 as the 'Value'.
    Log out of the machine and log back in again for the setting to take effect.

  • Recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. What now?

    Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
    won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?

    yes;
    I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
    I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers.

  • I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort?

    I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad to use while traveling back and forth from the U.S. to Australia, and within Australia. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality of the iPad in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort? I have never owned an Apple product before -- I'm a newby!

    Aside form the limitation of LTE to the 700MHz and 2.1GHz bands (which rules out LTE in Europe I gather, at least as it stands now) the new iPad should let you use a GSM 3g/2g/edge network anywhere.  The CDMA Verizon model will only be able to use it's native CDMA radio band in the USA (that radio will be locked to Verizon), but it's international GSM radio is the same as the AT&T model.
    Keep in mind though that by far the cheapest option when abroad is to take advantage of free wifi as much as possible (well, that is always the cheapest option, since it is free).  I know several people who have taken their wifi-only iPads and iPad2s to Europe and said they did not find the lack of 3G really inconvenient at all as most towns had plenty of free or cheap wifi access all over the place.
    And in 3 years, your iPad will be at least 2-3 generations behind, LTE will have already been replaced by 5G or whatever the next new generation of cellular ends up being named (and the "young" kids will be wondering what the heck 3G even means or meant - dang that stuff was from the olden days!), and you can pitch that ancient piece of technology and start things all over again

    Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
    The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
    To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad. 
    Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
    Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.
