Unable to add an APP to the SharePoint site and getting error message “Sorry, there was something wrong with the download. Try adding it again”.

3. Click OK on the Message from webpage dialog.
4. Click the gear icon again for Settings and then click Site settings.
5. In the Site Administration section, click Regional settings.
6. In the Region section, set the Locale setting to English (United States) and then click OK at the bottom of the page.

A. 20,000 documents for personal document libraries, 5,000 for team sites.

Q. Does SkyDrive Pro Sync for Windows use "differential sync"?

Share Site with an External User

An external user is a person who has been granted access to your SharePoint Online site, but who is not a licensed user within your organization. External users are users who are not employees, contractors, or onsite agents for either you or your affiliates.

You can grant access to external users by using the Share command to send them an email invitation to a document or site. For more information about how external sharing works, see Share sites or documents with people outside your organization.

How to change the display language for Office 365, Lync Online, and SharePoint Online

You can change the display language for Office 365, Lync Online, and SharePoint Online—all at the same time.

1. Go to Settings  > Office 365 settings > Language.
2. On the Language page, select your language, and then click Save.

Where will this change show up?

• When you change the display language in Office 365, you'll see that language in Office 365, in Lync Online, and in SharePoint Online.
• This setting doesn’t apply to Outlook Web App, Calendar, or People. To change those settings, at the top of the page in Office 365, click Outlook. On the Outlook Web App page, click Settings  > Options > Settings >Regional. For more information, see Regional settings.
• If you change your display language in Outlook Web App, those settings don’t change the language in Office 365. You also have to change your display language for Outlook Web App when you sign in to Outlook Web App for the first time in Office 365.
• If you set your language in SharePoint Online, and then change it in Office 365, the Office 365 setting overrides the SharePoint Online setting.
• Changing your display language settings doesn’t affect the language settings for anyone else.

Hotfix: Explorer View & Map Network Drive

Hello Guys,

Explorer View and Mapped Network Drives for Office 365 had not been working properly for your users in the past in Windows 7 OS.  Today, we upgraded your browser to Internet Explorer 10 and applied the patch that fixes the Explorer View issue.  I have tested after the upgrade and found that Explorer View and your Mapped Network Drives are working properly now.  For your convenience, I have listed the link to the patch below:

Make sure you have installed the update for Internet Explorer 10 before installing hotfix.

Fix for Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 10 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2846960

Hope this helps!!

Explorer View

This article will help you understand how to use explorer view and to troubleshoot if this option is not working.

When you use the Open with Explorer command, it opens Windows Explorer on your computer. However, Windows Explorer then displays the folder structure on the server computer that hosts the site. You can then work with the files in the folder. For example, you can perform actions by using Windows Explorer that include the following:

·         Drag documents into libraries.

·         Create folders.

·         Move or copy documents in one library to another library within the same site collection or between site collections.

·         Delete multiple documents at one time.

Use "Open with Explorer" in a SharePoint Online document library

In the SharePoint Online document library, click the Library tab, and then in the Connect & Export group in the ribbon, click the Open with Explorer icon.

For more info about how to copy or move library files by using Open with Explorer, go to the following Microsoft website:

Copy or move library files by using Open with Explorer

Troubleshoot "Open with Explorer" issues

When you browse to a SharePoint Online document library, you may receive intermittent connectivity issues, or you may receive one of the following error messages:

Your client does not support opening this list with Windows Explorer

We're having a problem opening this location in File Explorer. Add this web site to your Trusted Sites list and try again.

Note If you're using Internet Explorer 10 with Windows 7, go to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

2835527 Error message when you click "Open with Explorer" in SharePoint Online

Make sure that you're authenticated to Office 365. To do this, follow these steps:

1.       Sign in to the SharePoint Online site by using your Office 365 credentials, and make sure that you click to select the Keep me signed in check box.

2.       Open a document library in Explorer View.

Make sure that the SharePoint Online URLs have been added to your Trusted sites zone in Internet Explorer. For more information, go to the following Knowledge Base article:

2828701 How to add a SharePoint Online site to the "Trusted sites" zone in Internet Explorer

Make sure that the latest Windows updates are applied. If all the latest updates are applied, and the issue persists, make sure that the WebClient service is running. To do this, follow these steps:

1.       Follow the appropriate step for your operating system:

o    For Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then press Enter.

o    For Windows 8, click Start, type services.msc, and then press Enter.

2.       In the list of services, locate the WebClient service, and then make sure that its status in the Status column is set to Started. If it isn't set to Started, double-click the WebClient service, click Start, and then click OK.
