Files which are uploaded onto the system will only show in a new browser if it is an image or PDF. If it's any other file format it will automatically download the file. Is there a way around this?
I have tried using SuiteScript to access the file and open it in a new browser but, it will download it once opened in a new browser.
I was emailed an excel file with a number of links to install direct printer queues. If I open the excel attachment directly from the email the links work, but if I save the attachment to my desktop the links no longer work and I get an error “Cannot open the specified file”.
If I copy the link into Windows explorer, it works fine. Is there a way to ensure the links still work from excel when the file is saved in a shared location so anyone with access to the file can click on the links without having to copy the link into Windows explorer?
My Question:
There are hundreds of unique URLs from where I have to download the zip file after clicking on the download icon. Is there any way to automate this process.
My process:
Open the unique web page URL,
Download icons appears.
Click on download icon to download the file.
Same process for rest of the pages.
Notes:
Each zip file has the different name.
Files are hosted in the secured server.
No access to directory folder.
Download icon position changes on every page.
Any chrome extension or fire fox ad don to solve this repeated task? Appreciate your help.
If you have download url list, then there are lots of add-ons that will help you download them, like DownThemAll
But if you do not have download url list, you will need to have a custom extension solution. Because, first extension needs to connect your server and retrieve download url before downloading the actual file. There needs to be Regular Expression difficulties which enforces custom extension solution.
I have created an google script which go to my mail and fetch attachments and put it into a folder (shared as anyone with link), and share the link to folder with any given email.
But when others open that folder with link it open in google drive viewer(online). Have to open each and every file to download. Is there any way I can let them download whole batch in much more less stressing way?
I have tried out creating a folder (lets say folderchild) inside that folder(folderparent) then put all files in folderchild. But still same problem. Have to open that folderchild and open files in there and download them one by one.
Zipping attachment is not an option for my solution.
Any advices?
Thanks in advance.
They should regress to their own drive, choose the "Shared with Me" option, tick the required folder and use the "More" -> "download" option to download all the content in a zip file
If you share a map via Google drive and send the link via email your link has an url of following format:
https://drive.google.com/a/FOO/folderview?id=BAR&usp=sharing_eid
where FOO is the domainname of your organization and
BAR is the unique id of the folder (similar to i3AV_u1UsLmTa-dOm22I2XXgioDR8)
Change this url to the following
https://drive.google.com/drive/#folders/BAR
Now you can click on the name of the folder and download all files.
Note: this is what works today (Jan. '15) in an GAFE (Google Apps For Education) environment.
There is OPEN IN DRIVE option in upper right corner, (if you are logged in with your google account). It will put a folder of the same name on your google drive. Then you can right click on the folder and select Download option (zip file will be made and downloaded) :)
When they're viewing the folder in their Google Drive, don't they have the option to select it, click the "More" button and pick "Download"?
If not, that seems like a bug on Drive and you should report it in the Drive forum / issue tracker.
Select the file(s) first, I get that option after I select(ed) the files to download ;)
I don't have enough reputation to comment on user906489. His URL works, except in the case when using multiple google accounts and the url should not reference the first account.
In that case just insert u/USERID/ after https://drive.google.com/drive/, so that
https://drive.google.com/drive/#folders/BAR
becomes
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/USERID/#folders/BAR
where, USERID is the number (greater than zero) of your google account.
I am uploading EML files to sharepoint document library.
The problem is that after uploading the file when i click on the link of the EML file from the document library, it will be opened in html format, so i can't see the attachment,cc...
How to solve this problem?
I want the eml file to be opened in windows mail.
I believe this is more of a client integration issue than a SharePoint issue. What is the default association for .EML files on your system?
Check this link to associate .EML files with a particular program, e.g. Windows Mail so they open with that program:
