Today I was trying to share a OneDrive folder and was not able to find the "invite friends" feature.
I must share the folder exclusively with people authenticated with a Microsoft Account instead of creating a public url.
I can still see some folders I share with the friend list there, but if I remove the sharing, I cannot set up it back again.
Is there any change in the way sharing works in OneDrive?
If you right-click on a folder, the first item in the dropdown should be "Share". Just follow this flow.

I do not think there is an EASY, right click -> export to PST for a mailbox, if you know of one, please let me know.
Since I can't find an easy way, I am going to attempt the code route.
I am looking to write some code to export an O365 mailbox to a .pst file. This is a local backup for when we want to keep the contents of an O365 mailbox after removing licenses.
After removing the O365 Licenses, the mailbox will stay for 30 days and then it is deleted.
I saw a post with a description about using Redemption which I have licensed, but there really is no detail on the process.
Microsoft Graph API to extract a .pst
I have access to the mailbox via EWS and would like to iterate through folders and then mail items in each folder.
Has anyone done anything with copying an O365 Mailbox offline to a .pst file?
You can use the compliance centre to do the export eg https://lazyadmin.nl/office-365/export-office-365-mailbox-to-pst
Another easy solution is to just use the windows Desktop version of Outlook, eg create a profile against the Mailbox, do the export and manually verify it does require a person to do that (assign it to helpdesk etc)
There are lot of third party offering as Andrew mentioned just google them and check the reviews.
If you already have an Outlook profile that connects to the Exchange mailbox in question, you can simply drag/drop folders/messages from the Exchange mailbox to a PST file.
You can also use Outlook Object Model or Redemption to copy the messages programmatically.
I've reached out to Dropbox on this and they advised that there isn't a way to do it through their platform, they suggested using other tools like GitHub, Zapier, and the like.
I have admin access to Dropbox and I have little to no experience coding, I've seen a few API's that could help me with what I'm trying to accomplish.
Is there an App or service I can use along with the Dropbox API to fetch all Share folders and their members? We are talking about 300+ folders so entering all the info manually won't be ideal since this task is time sensitive.
Thank you for any input or advise you guys can give me on this
I run a multi-gigabyte audio content subscription service. Right now all of our clients get download links via email for all of the content.
I had an idea of employing the Dropbox API after a "successful charge" webhook and giving (read-only) access to a shared Dropbox folder with all of the content. That way, the customer would stay in sync with all updates, changes etc...
The way I picture it, the user checks out and is immediately asked if he would like to add our company's folder to his/her Dropbox.
Does this seem feasible/practical?
Looking at the API, I only see an option to provide a download link but not an actual shared folder. Am I correct in this observation?
That's correct, the Dropbox API doesn't currently offer any API calls for managing shared folders. It only has a way to get the read-only share links like you mentioned.
However, if you'd be interested in potentially participating in a shared folder API beta in the future, please sign up here.
#Greg's answer is correct, but I thought I'd mention a couple other options:
You could use the Saver to let users save the files directly into their Dropbox. This wouldn't help you to push new content to them—they'd still have to visit your site to save the new files—but it would let you cut down on your bandwidth costs, since Dropbox would cache the files for you.
You could use a combination of /copy_ref and /fileops/copy to copy the contents from a central Dropbox account into each user's Dropbox. This wouldn't use any of your bandwidth (once the file was in the central Dropbox account).
Please note, however, that free Dropbox accounts only start with 2GB of storage space. Since you mentioned "multi-gigabyte," you'll need to keep in mind whether your customers will actually have sufficient Dropbox space to store the files you want to share with them. (Even if you were able to use a shared folder, they would need to have enough space left to accept the shared folder invitation.)
I am trying to access from an MVC application, the OneDrive files from my office 365 account.
What I need is to give my application user the possibility to edit a .docx file, in their browser.
I used Office 365 APIs Preview, to get the list of files, and their properties, but I don't know how to allow the user to edit that file in his browser.
A solution to this problem could be to share the file with different user of my application, by creating a guest link.
From the office365 portal this is a simple task:
- OneDrive, select the file -> manage -> share with -> get a link, the link can have read only or read write rights.
I don’t know how to create this link from the APIs.
Can you please tell me how can I generate this guest link or if there is a different solution to this problem.
In short, I don't think this can be done in a supported way.
There is a real risk that if you figure out the URL structure, that the structure could change. I suggest that you make a feature request by using UserVoice. It would be preferable that the REST API and the client objects construct this URL for you.
With that said, if you take the sharing link, and place it into a browser window, the link will redirect to Word Online with the document in the browser. Take a look at the structure of the URL in the Word Online browser window. You could use that as a template, and along with the information from the File.Url property from the Office 365 API Preview, you may be able to put together a URL to that file. Expect that this approach would not be supported and would be subject to URL structure changes.
If other people find that this would be a useful feature, please use UserVoice to let us know.
I've created a couple of dashboards in my rally environment and since I cannot make them project viewable I would like to share the dashboard without sharing it with the entire workspace.
Is this possible? If so how?
Unfortunately, shared pages in Rally get shared with everyone and cannot be set to be visible at the project level. You will need to share with the desired users which apps and settings (or code if it is a custom HTML app) you are using in order for them to be able to re-create these themselves.
You could always post this as an idea at https://ideas.rallydev.com to get visibility for the functionality you are looking for.
