Create "Shared with Everyone" folder in Sky Drive Pro / Documents library - SharePoint 2013

Introduction

As I mentioned in my previous post our team faced issues in document migration from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. The actions were not as expected.

Problem Background

In some profile we couldn't find "Shared with Everyone" which folder is having "Read" permission to "All Authenticated Users". So we created a console application which will create "Shared with Everyone" folder and set the permission as we needed.

Solution

Please pass your personal site (spWeb) to the method.

   
 public static void CreateSharedFolder(SPWeb web)
 {

    SPList list = (SPDocumentLibrary)web.Lists["Documents"];
    //Get the folders inside Documents library
    SPFolderCollection folders = web.GetFolder(list.RootFolder.Url).SubFolders;
    List<string> folderList = new List<string>();
    //Add the SPFolderCollection to a generic list
    foreach (SPFolder folder in folders)
    {
        folderList.Add(folder.Name);
    }
    //Check whether folder list has shared with everyone folder
    if (!folderList.Contains("Shared with Everyone"))
    {

       //Create folder inside Documents library 
       folders.Add("Shared with Everyone");

       //Greate users
       SPUser allUser = web.EnsureUser("NT AUTHORITY\\authenticated users");
       //Get folder
       SPListItem item = list.Folders[0];
       if (!item.HasUniqueRoleAssignments)
           item.BreakRoleInheritance(true);

       SPRoleAssignment roleAssignment = new SPRoleAssignment(allUser);
       SPRoleDefinition roleDefination = web.RoleDefinitions["Read"];
                //Add role assignment
       roleAssignment.RoleDefinitionBindings.Add(roleDefination);
       item.RoleAssignments.Add(roleAssignment);
       web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
       item.Update();
       web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;

    }

}
 
 

Conclution
Now you can see "Shared with Everyone" folder inside SkyDrive pro.

Move (Personal) Documents into SkyDrive Pro after migrating from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013

Introduction

If you have working on migrating SharePoint 2010 personal sites to SharePoint 2013 personal sites;  documents migration may become a headache. The expectation of the action is

"The Personal and Shared document libraries in SharePoint Server 2010 are combined into the SkyDrive Pro document library on the user's My Site in SharePoint Server 2013. Items from the Shared folder are stored in the Shared with Everyone folder in SharePoint Server 2013. Items from the Personal folder are stored at the root of the SkyDrive Pro document library and only shared with the owner of the My Site." - MicroSoft

Problem Background

But in our case, the documents didn't shift under SkyDrive but they were seen under site contents as another document library.

So I wrote a console application to move all the documents to SkyDrive. Here I'm presenting a simple code snippet which you have to modify to use other document library and sub folders under document library. 

Solution 

private static void MovePersonalDocuments(SPWeb web)
{
 SPFolder folder = web.GetFolder("Personal Documents");
 SPFileCollection collFile = folder.Files;
 ///*Copy the files to a generic List of type SPFile*/
 List listFiles = new List(collFile.Count);
 foreach (SPFile oFile in collFile)
 {
  listFiles.Add(oFile);
 }
 SPList list = (SPDocumentLibrary)web.Lists["Documents"];
 for (int i = 0; i < listFiles.Count; i++)
 {
    SPFile movefile = collFile[0];
    Console.WriteLine("Moving File: " + movefile.Name);
           web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
    byte[] fileBytes = movefile.OpenBinary();
    string destUrl = list.RootFolder.Url + "/" + movefile.Name;
    movefile.MoveTo(destUrl, true);
           web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
   Console.WriteLine("Success");
 }
}

Conclusion 

• Please note that I have only considered moving Personal Documents.
• The code will help to move Shared Documents and Sub folders as well.
