SharePoint Online (Office 365) - SharePoint Designer not allowing to save file - sharepoint-online

I installed SharePoint Designer 2013 and opened a site from our company's Office 365 SharePoint Online. When I try to make any changes in seattle.master (or any other html file) and save, it is showing following error message:
Server error: Access denied.
I setup my own user with full control (owner), so it seems to have enough rights.
Am I missing something?

Try enabling custom script on the site where you are trying to save the file.
You can do this using SPO Shell

Had this issue a couple days ago and this seemed to fix it.

SharePoint FBA NOT prompting for a password for PowerPoint

I have a SharePoint 2016 installation with Forms Based Authentication installed and an Office Application Server.
When some users try to open PowerPoint presentation (Office 365) in the desktop application (They don't like to edit in the online version) it fails to open saying that they PowerPoint failed to open the document.
typically they would have a pop-up asking if it's okay to open in chrome and then a popup that requires them to log in with forms-based authentication, this means that it's working.
Recently these users stopped getting any popups.
We HAVE set up the trust center to allow forms based log ins from this site.
We HAVE cleared out the cache.
I have also tried giving them a different FBA account.
Has anyone encountered anything like this before?

Mimic Sharepoint edit Office file download

When you browse a list of files in Sharepoint using IE and attempt to download the file, you get the option of opening it in read-only or edit mode. When you open the document, Office knows that the file exists in Sharepoint so when you save, it is updated in Sharepoint without the user having to re-upload the file.
I'd like to have this same functionality in a custom website. I have access to Sharepoint and the file list so I'm using the same URL that Sharepoint is to download the file but there's something else happening in Sharepoint that tells the computer to not download a copy of the file but to open it in Office from the Sharepoint URL.
Does anyone know how to mimic this same behavior so I can get a file to be opened in Office from Sharepoint to it can save directly back to Sharepoint?
The special thing about this, is the link:
It's not just http://example.com/document.docx . It's ms-word:ofe|u|http://example.com/document.docx .
Just add ms-word:ofe|u| in front of the link for letting the browser know to open the link with an other Application.
There are other strings for other links.
Open a OneNote-File with:
onenote:http://example.com/document.one
And Excel-Files with
ms-excel:ofv|u|http://example.com/document.xlsx
And just for fun a TeamSpeak Link:
ts3server://example.com
Create URL for MS Office 2010 (and higher) to:
open document in view mode:
ms-excel:ofv|u|http://server.com/path/filename.xlsx
open document in edit mode:
ms-excel:ofe|u|http://server.com/path/filename.xlsx
List of MS Office apps URL scheme names:
ms-word:
ms-powerpoint:
ms-excel:
ms-visio:
ms-access:
ms-project:
ms-publisher:
ms-spd:
ms-infopath:

SharePoint 2013 - Open upload document window from a custom location/hyperlink

Is there a way to create a hyperlink that will open the upload document window in SharePoint 2013?
I seen the following solution for sharepoint 2010 - but this doesn't seem to work in SP2013.

Thanks,
If you have Web app server installed, you can see the URL when you press the three dots.

Need to scheduled an SSRS report to save to a SharePoint document library

I want to schedule an SSRS subscription to save directly to a SharePoint document library and I can't. I get the error "Failure writing file \server\path\report.pdf: Access to the path '\server\path\report.pdf' is denied.
Here are the facts:
- I get a different error if I use the user/pass combo for the subscription, so I know my user/pass is correct
- I can save to all other shared file areas I have tried
- I can log into the SSRS server and map to the SP UNC path and write documents to it
- unlike other mappings I've done on the SSRS server, the SP directory does not stay mapped, even though I have clicked 'reconnect at login'
- SSRS Server is Win 2008; SP is 2008 (I think)
- we have turned on WEBDAV and installed Desktop Experience
- SP integrated mode is not an option
Any ideas or nudges in a general direction are greatly appreciated!
If installing SSRS in SharePoint integrated mode is not an option, then you will need to write custom code.
Set the SSRS subscription to write out to a local path on the SQL server, and then set a recurring scheduled task to run your custom .exe.
The custom .exe should copy the contents of a local directory to a given SharePoint document library. The .net SharePoint objects make this pretty easy: you'll probably spend more time getting the project set up than writing code to copy the files.
I got it to work by
Enabling WEBDAV
Turning Desktop Experience mode on
Mapping the Http file connect path that sharepoint gives to as a drive
For some reason when i did that it gave me the ability to write directly to the sharepoint folder on the server. \sharepoint-server\sites\path\shared documents\
Hi try configuring the centeral admin first

Sharepoint: Office Documents can only be uploaded; not opened and saved

I had two clients with a save issue in SharePoint.
When they try to save they would get a a very generic error: "Document Could not be saved"
The only way they could get them into SharePoint was by:
Saving to local File System
Using the Upload option from the SharePoint menu
Configurations
Client 1: Vista and Office 2007
Client 2: XP and Office 2003
I was able to fix client 1 by having him Map a Network Drive to the Sharepoint Site.
After mapping the network drive, somehow the OS magically knew about the SharePoint documents folder and he was able to save.
I'm not having the same luck with Client 2.
It won't even let me map the network drive. I get an error (one that I did not take a screenshot of and don't remember the exact wording...sorry). but it was an error trying to map the network drive to the SharePoint site.
So, after some Googling, I had him go to Windows Update and download all the latest patches for his OS.
He claims he did, but is still getting the problem.
Before I do another WebEx and start taking stabs in the dark to try and fix him, I was wondering if any veteran SharePoint users have run into this same issue and what they did to fix.
Or, is there some OS setting I should be looking at that needs to be toggled/modified.
I can access his SharePoint site just fine from several PCs and make modifications and save as necessary.
Did you try running the Microsoft Office Diagnostics?
Start --> Microsoft Office --> Microsoft Office Tools --> Microsoft Office Diagnostics
Let that scan and repair any issues it finds and see if that helps. That tool has fixed similar issues for me many times.
