I have a shared xls file in One Drive. Which i want to view though Excel Online.
The Link would be sent to users through mails. The user will open it in browser by clicking it.
Just like the Google Docs Viewer
https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://spreadsheetpage.com/downloads/xl/time%2520sheet.xls
But, in Microsoft Excel Online and the file is in One Drive itself.
Thanks in advance.
Use WL.api to provide the path of the file stored on onedrive. This function returns a URL if it succeeds. You have to send this link through email. User will be able to view the invoice stored on your onedrive by clicking on this link using excel online.

as I'm not a web developer by any means, this is me just asking a question for that I have not found a solution for.
I have a google sheet with multiple pages/sheets within it. the file is embeded in an iframe inside a webpage and I pulled the url and can open it directly using the url. the following link is just an example as I can't share the actual link since I am not allowed to:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/{key}/pubhtml?widget=true&headers=false
I have tried this:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/Export?key={key}
and is not working I get an error:
Sorry, unable to open the file at present.
Please check the address and try again.
the file is not meant for anyone to download nor share. Furthremore, since it is continuosely manually updated by author and I need to keep track of updates, taking screenshots is not efficient since the file is too big.
is there any way I can download the actual sheet to my device (so I can compare file updates over the long run)
Thank you.
I believe your goal as follows.
You want to download a Google Spreadsheet.
You are the owner of Google Spreadsheet.
The Spreadsheet is published as the Web publish. So the URL of Spreadsheet is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTl9bcwMSjoxYj406evzJefFodkVEUlV2KIq34Y5V8BFWJygAFrPSA7L5d89TASDUjkPG4b2SfN2rpe/pubhtml?widget=true&headers=false.
Issue and workaround:
Unfortunately, the Google Spreadsheet cannot be directly downloaded as the Google Spreadsheet. It seems that this is the current specification. In this case, it is required to export the Google Spreadsheet as other mimeType. For example, it's XLSX format, PDF format and CSV format. But the URL of https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTl9bcwMSjoxYj406evzJefFodkVEUlV2KIq34Y5V8BFWJygAFrPSA7L5d89TASDUjkPG4b2SfN2rpe/pubhtml?widget=true&headers=false cannot directly export. So, in this answer, as a workaround, I would like to propose to use the URL for exporting Google Spreadsheet as other mimeType.
When your URL is used, the URL for exporting is as follows.
Modified url:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTl9bcwMSjoxYj406evzJefFodkVEUlV2KIq34Y5V8BFWJygAFrPSA7L5d89TASDUjkPG4b2SfN2rpe/pub?output=xlsx
In this case, when you access to above URL using browser, your Spreadsheet can be exported as a XLSX file.
When output=xlsx is modified to output=pdf and output=csv, you can export as a PDF file and a CSV file, respectively.
When you want to export the specific sheetm please use the sheet ID like gid=0. The URL is as follows.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTl9bcwMSjoxYj406evzJefFodkVEUlV2KIq34Y5V8BFWJygAFrPSA7L5d89TASDUjkPG4b2SfN2rpe/pub?output=xlsx&gid=0
Note:
When you want to make users downloading the Spreadsheet, you can add the tag a as follows.
Download
I would like to upload the pdf of a paper on my new google site. Specifically, I want that people can click on, say, "paper_title" and can visualize the pdf and, if they want, download it.
I would like if possible a step-by-step explanation.
Thanks!
This is fairly straightforwards:
Firstly, store the PDF files on Google Drive and, set the link sharing as appropriate (e.g. anyone with link can view) so even anonymous internet users can see the file.
To make the PDF available via Google Sites you can either:
From Drive, copy the link to the file, and in new Sites insert a text box and
include the hyperlink to the PDF file in the text box.
in new Sites Insert (From Drive) and select the PDF file from the Google Drive; gives the same result as above, but with a re-sizable thumbnail picture of the PDF file instead of a link.
Exactly what happens after they click on the link is going to depend upon what browser the user is using, and what (if any) PDF viewer plugin is installed. Chrome, pretty much does what you want: it opens the PDF file in a viewer, from where you can download it.
Even if you don't store the PDF on Google Drive, what is described above should still work, as long as you have a hyperlink to the PDF file.
I want to create an editable link for an excel file stored in my Personal Ondrive account. According to the documentation Microsoft-Graph-Onedrive-docs, I should be able to use createLink API with payload as {"type": "edit", "view: "anonymous"}. But even after doing that the link opens a read-only excel file in excel online.
How do I open an editable excel file in excel online
I am using Personal Onedrive and calling the APIs via Microsoft graph explorer
If you have a .doc or .xls document you can not edit that. You'll need one of the newer Word, Excel formats like: .docx or .xlsx.
I'm currently working with the OneDrive API to get files from a users OneDrive.
I need to be able to display a file from OneDrive dynamically, depending on what element a user clicks on.
I Know that I can go into my OneDrive and get a Embedded Link that I can use to display a file from my OneDrive, but this is not what I need. I attempted to use the Embedded Link combined with data binding but the link requires a authorization token unique the initial embedded link.
Essentially I want a user to click on a element corresponding to a OneDrive element (eg a file or pdf). Then have file will display in a IFrame on the page.
For Office documents, you can use the webUrl property from a DiveItem. This URL will open the document in the editor associated with that file type. For example, navigating to the webUrl for a .ppt file will open that document in PowerPoint Online.
For other files, the webUrl property simply points to the file itself. What happens when you navigate to that address will depend on the file type and what applications you have installed. Navigating to a .pdf generally will show that file in the browser (most browsers support PDF) but other files may not have an application and therefore just download to the local machine.
You can open the URLs into an iframe but be careful to ensure you're UI is taking up minimal screen area. Also make sure you're page is responsive so users can use the app in a smaller window and/or mobile device without your UI eating up so much canvas that they can't see/use the document itself.
here is an example of a creation of an edit link in onedrive, you can change the type of edit to embeed to get what you want, this is in php utilizing laravel, the graph api with the docs https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/docs/api-reference/v1.0/api/item_createlink
public function getEditableEmbeed($itemid){
$this->refresh();
$file = $this->getGraph()->createRequest("POST", "/me/drive/items/".$itemid."/createLink")->attachBody('{ "type": "edit", "scope": "anonymous"}')->execute();
return $file;
}
Right now I have an Excel file locally in my iOS application and the file is downloaded from our own servers.
I want to be able to edit the Excel file somehow and I can't seem to get my head around how to do it with the Excel app.
I'm aware that you can't edit local files in another app like that, so I tried with links to files on my OneDrive account. I just can't seem to get the url right.
It seems like I need a direct link to the file, but all I get is a guest access link, when I make the file shareable.
Have you tried the Google Sheets app? Might do the trick.
