I am planning a big migration from Dropbox to Microsoft Onedrive but i noticed that Onedrive does not offer the same download logic as Dropbox. To be precise, we really liked the feature from dropbox where the files are pre-downloaded in your computer and when you really need them you dont have to download.
Unfortunatelly from what i see, Onedrive does not offer the same option.
The reason we are trying to do this, its to minize wait time when you really need the files.
Anyone who encountered this program?
Kind regards
By default onedrive data will be on cloud to save your local storage and for colloboration.
If you want to use it local, there is an option avaiable in onedrive after sync.
Right click on required folder > Always keep on this device.
Now these files will be aviable locally even onedrive sync offline.

Had my PC rebuilt due to a sign in issue with Azure. Ever since, I have been unable to sync a sharepoint site which is the main one I work in.
I go to the site contents folder online, select the main docuement library and click Sync on the top bar as shown below:
And every time, for this particular folder, I get this issue:
Other people are using and syncing this folder in exactly the same way without any problem. I can also sync any other folder without a problem, there is only this one important folder that seems impossible to sync. I can't create a new document library very easily as this will affect everyone. Any thoughts how to fix this?
Oh yeah and I've got the latest version of onedrive installed. In fact, when I click on that link, it takes me to an older version of onedrive which won't install as I've got a newer version.
Sometimes, the Microsoft Office Upload Center may affect the OneDrive for Business syncing with SharePoint library, it also may stop the SharePoint sync from progressing.
Try clearing cached files from Upload Center.

You can use the Open with Explorer function to open the document library in Windows Explorer, where you can select all the files you want and simply copy them to your destination. Note that this function only works in Internet Explorer, not in Edge or any other browser. There are ways to make it kind of work in modern browsers, but that requires custom code. You can, however, save the location of the document library to the Quick access list to make it easier to find.
Another option seems to be the SharePoint Bulk File Download web part, but I believe this is a paid tool that must be purchased after the trial.
I use Open with Explorer all the time, but I have never tried the mentioned web part.
I have some files on S3 and would like to view those files in web. Problem is that the files are not public and I dont want them to be public. Google doc viewer works but condition is, files should be public.
Can I use office web apps to show in browser. Since the files are private, I do not want to store any data on Microsoft servers. It looks like even google doc viewer stores the info while parsing.
What is the cleanest way?
Thanks.
I have looked around for something similiar before and there are some apps you can install locally (CyberDuck, S3 Browser, etc). In the browser has been limited until recently (full disclosure I worked on this project).

I probably get a minus here, but also Microsoft has an online viewer, which works the same way: the file needs to be publicly accessible.
Here is the link: https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx
What I cloud add is that those files need to be publicly accessible only for a short period, i.e. until the page gets opened. So you cloud trick them by uploading the file to be viewed to a public temporary storage in a randomly generated folder and give that url to the online viewer.
Of course this is not that safe, since the file will get as some point to the temp storage and then to Google or Microsoft, but the random path names offer some degree of safety.
I've created recently a small glitch app, which demonstrates what I just explained: https://honeysuckle-eye.glitch.me/
It uploads local files to a temp storage and then opens the viewer from that temp storage; the temp storage only last for one download, so it is pretty safe.
Alright, I am obviously missing something here. I have moved several websites over to Azure to take advantage of all that it has to offer. Traditionally our team has always used DreamWeaver to ftp up/down and such. What I don't understand is how I go about getting hooked up to an EXISTING site on Azure. I can easily setup and web deploy to a NEW site, but I am trying to give the rest of the team access to the sites I have setup and I am lost as to how to approach this.
I have tried the File > Open Web Site route, and the issue with that is it never then saves the project/info anywhere in VS, and we are required to hook back up to it each time.
All of our local sites are on a shared network drive, so we all access the same local resources. I thought I could simply pass them all the publish profiles and they could then import, get, and then edit and publish files... but it never gives the option to "get all files" from the server.
Hope this makes sense?! Thanks in advance! :)
For multiple developer scenarios, it would be in your best interest to use a source control system such as Git or TFS. This will allow you not only to share the source across team members, but also give you the benefit of tracking changes and merging files that are modified across team members.
If you aren't comfortable with source control, you do still have access to the files via FTP or Secure FTP.
You could also use WebMatrix which has the concept of download from server built directly into the tooling.
I have a feeling this is a long shot, but is there a Google script that can transfer everything in a Google site to SharePoint or a Google drive folder to SharePoint?
I would rather just use Google drive for collaboration as it is 100 times better than SharePoint (IMHO), but my company insists on using SharePoint. That being said, our team would like to continue using our Google site for collaboration and documentation which is why I am wondering if there is a script of some sort to transfer documents from Google to SharePoint?
Well, this isn't an exact answer to my question. But this ended up making the process about 99% easier. I installed google drive locally so all of my files are placed in the google drive folder. I then opened sharepoint, and switched to explorer view. I then simply copied/pasted all the folders from google drive to the sharepoint folder, and about 30 seconds later all files were synchronized. It would be pretty simple to write a script to copy the files/folders from the google drive folder to the sharepoint folder. This was a simple way to solve an annoying problem, I hope this is helpful.
