At the moment there is no option to send a notification to an Office 365 Admin when a list or library is reaching the limit of 5000 items, it would be good if an out of the box option could be implemented to send this notification. e.g., a check-box option with an email field and the number of items to alert when reached, this would be great if it could be implemented across all site collections, so an Admin could set this up once and not worry about time consuming tasks of having to set up alerts or workflows to try and counteract this limit.

Setup some sort of email alert for the entire system to alert administrators when close to the threshold limit so we are aware of this before its too late

Would it be possible or feasible to place an item in the menu or a button on the main ribbon to unlock a document? I have a document that is locked for offline viewing and I cannot make any changes to this document.

What make this frustrating is that I am being told by Office 365 that I am editing this document offline. I have restarted my one drive, my computer and all of my open documents on my laptop. I don't understand why this continues to happen but, it would be nice to have a simple fix.

Bottom line, my idea is for users to have a simple way to unlock documents that are locked for editing. Since One Drive has version control, there should not be an issue. Thanks.

When uploading documents into a document library SharePoint enters today's date as a create date for the document even thought that document could have been created 4 years ago. This gets confusing when trying to implement retention policies. A library might have hundreds of documents that have the same date, even though those documents were moved to SharePoint from a shared drive on the network. :(

Suggestion to fix:
Have an option for the user to user the original document create date when uploading a document as a checkbox. And an option to replace it with today's date which is the upload date.

Have another field called Upload Date that captures the date the document was uploaded into the document library.

When a document is uploaded, capture that even and query the document properties, then get the documents create date and put into the Created date field in SharePoint.

Thanks.

The new OneDrive Sharepoint experience changes the way synchronization works for Sharepoint, improving it on several levels.

Working with synced libraries is still a subpar experience because Windows is still unaware of many functionalities of Sharepoint:

• Metadata columns - they can't be seen or used as search terms. If a custom metadata column is "required" instead of "optional", synced share becomes read-only. Firstly, Metadata columns should sync and viewable in explorer. They should also be editable (if the user has permissions).




• Views - The default views from Sharepoint should also sync to Explorer and the user should be able to use his own custom views, or the site's.

This would bring a great level of consistency and integration of the desktop and online experiences.

Durable links should be valid even after any action like rename doc/rename lib/move across webs/move across site collections....and so on.
There was a lot of promises but now Durable links are not better then Document ID. They are worse.

Make it useful not useless. Lets make documents durable links really durable. I don't care how the technology is called. Me and our customers really need solid technology that is available already on different platforms. Why you don't you use search to be used if document is moved across site collection? Why only Microsoft documents reflect Durable links? Why there is still missing documentation on Durable links?

Hey Microsoft, there are also other formats than Office the users are saving to SharePoint!!!

As a SharePoint consultant I am really disappointed what you promised and what you really implement.

I have a document library with meta-data associated and they appear in a grouped by view. This meta-data field is mandatory.

Currently when i drag & drop from the desktop, it creates the list item without associating the meta-data. I must then perform another action to tag the content & check the file in. Very annoying & time consuming.

It would be great if i could drag & drop directly to the grouping of existing content and SharePoint would automaticaly set the values for this new item based on where i'm drag & dropping.

This would save users a great deal of time when dealing with structured content & help with classification and adoption.
