- Dec 21, 2017 The latest version of Microsoft Document Connection is unknown on Mac Informer. It is a perfect match for the General category. The app is developed by Microsoft.
It’s quite interesting that we have talked so much on the improved browser support in SharePoint 2010. But if you are a Mac user, you can rarely see a comprehensive list of what you can do and what you cannot with clear explanation. If you search on the internet, you can find Dux has a very good video here: https://www.vimeo.com/10709658. He went through nearly all the features with Office for Mac 2008. If you are a Mac user/admin and need to use SharePoint, it’s worth watching. Virtualization would be another way to get around of the limitations. The official documentation for browser support is here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526.aspx. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can find the limitations for Safari and Firefox on a non-Windows system (most of the time that means Mac).
However, some of the information there may not be accurate…or just confusing. So I will try to make it clear in this post…
Frequently asked questions about the Remote Desktop clients.; 12 minutes to read +6; In this article. Applies to: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2. Now that you've set up the Remote Desktop client on your device (Android, Mac, iOS, or Windows), you may have questions. Aug 26, 2011 is sharepointonline compatibel with the microsoft document connection from mac office 2011. Until now i did not manage to connect a sharepoint site with this office program Unfortunately, we are unable to conmment on beta or newly released software. The connector for Office 2008 did work, however, so I can imagine it will work with the new edition of. Follow these steps to get started with Remote Desktop on your Mac: Download the Microsoft Remote Desktop client from the Mac App Store. Set up your PC to accept remote connections. (If you skip this step, you can't connect to your PC.) Add a Remote Desktop connection or a remote resource. Nov 13, 2010 Microsoft Document Connection, which was introduced in Office for Mac 2008 SP2, now is also a part of the Office for Mac 2011 installation. It can connect to both SharePoint sites and SkyDrive. Multiple file upload is simple with this application – just drag and drop them into the application then everything is done. How can I change the username that is used to connect to a SharePoint site in Microsoft Document Connection. When I try to connect to a site, it's showing the authentication screen, but only allows me to enter the password. The username is defaulted to my Mac login user, but I.
Here’re some questions I collected during the past months, and the answers to them are based on my experience, not official support statement:
Can Mac users use SharePoint 2010?
Of course yes. Both Safari and Firefox are supported browsers of SharePoint 2010 because of the introduce of XHTML 1.0 in the product. The limitations can be found in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526.aspx. However, there’re some mistakes in the language used in the article so please read on.
Can SharePoint Admins manage SharePoint 2010 with Safari?
Central Admin web site can be accessed by Safari and Firefox without any problem. If you do have issues with OOTB Central Admin site, please check settings on your Mac and network – something is wrong there, not SharePoint. There’s no ActiveX controls to block you from doing any admin tasks. Of course, there’s no Windows PowerShell on a Mac so you cannot do the Windows PowerShell Remoting tasks, but that cannot stop you from using Remote Desktop for Mac to connect to those SharePoint Servers.
Can I directly open Office file from SharePoint and save it back?
Yes, although you will not have Read Only/Edit option to choose from before you open it in Office for Mac. The file will be opened as Read Only by default, and you can modify the file by click Edit. Then you can also save it back to the original location.
Can I upload file to SharePoint using Mac?
Certainly you can. In the TechNet article there’s an item like this:
File upload and copy: Requires an ActiveX control that is not support on this platform.
But this is invalid. File upload does not require an ActiveX control. What you cannot achieve is to use the Upload Multiple Documents options, see below.
Can I upload multiple files to SharePoint using Mac?
On the browser, no. Unless you use virtualization solutions with Internet Explorer, the Upload Multiple Documents menu item is disabled. The reason behind this is the feature requires STS Upld ActiveX control. However, you can use Microsoft Document Connection to upload multiple files without any problem.
Microsoft Document Connection, which was introduced in Office for Mac 2008 SP2, now is also a part of the Office for Mac 2011 installation. It can connect to both SharePoint sites and SkyDrive. Multiple file upload is simple with this application – just drag and drop them into the application then everything is done. The application itself can be seen as a very lite version of SharePoint Workspace, although it doesn’t do much beyond upload, read, edit, check in/check out. You cannot delete a file, create a new folder, or edit its metadata properties in this app, and to get the latest update you need to hit Refresh button.
Can I have Explorer View in Mac?
No. Since how Windows/Mac plus all the browsers has different ways to handle this protocol, it is nearly impossible to have a standard way to implement it to work across different platform with native Explorer/Finder support. Microsoft Document Connection is a good client to replace this feature.
How do I use Infopath/Onenote/Access/Visio, etc…on SharePoint with Mac?
Since these applications are not existing in current Office for Mac 2011 release, the only way to use them on Mac is to use virtualization. Alternatively, you can use Infopath Service, Onenote, Access Service and Visio Service on SharePoint with Safari/Firefox on Mac. Office Web Apps also allows you to directly view/edit Office files without even install Office for Mac on the machine. (You need to have a Office client license to use Office Web Apps on SharePoint)
Does Media Web Part work on Mac?
Yes. You need to install SilverLight on Mac before it’s functional.
Can I insert HTML5 video content to SharePoint so it can work with Mac?
Yes. Upload the video to any document library and reference it in your video tag. Please note H.264 content will not work with Firefox since they didn’t implement the support. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/opal/archive/2010/06/14/what-s-the-story-for-html5-with-sharepoint-2010.aspx
Here’s an example: The upper right video is from Media Web Part, while the lower left one is built with Content Editor Web Part with HTML5 <video> tag.
Since I have already installed Office for Mac 2011, can I use the features on the Ribbon such as Connect to Outlook, Excel, SharePoint Workspace, etc?
Unfortunately no. These features uses ActiveX controls except Export to Excel. And for Export to Excel feature, since Excel for Mac does not have a good support for Web Query(.iqy), it is really hard to make it to work. I may need to dig into the details, but it seems like when you run saved query Excel failed to authenticate with SharePoint. Outlook for Mac does not have the ability to connect to SharePoint.
Can I edit SharePoint pages using Safari? I cannot do it with iPad or iPhone!
Yes you can – This is fully supported. The mobile version of Safari is a trimmed down version of Safari -- it does not support contentEditable property so it cannot be used with any rich text editing application. For details see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/opal/archive/2010/09/01/can-i-use-ipad-iphone-with-sharepoint-2010.aspx
Is there presence support if I installed Communicator for Mac?
No. The presence information (green/yellow/red) is shown through an ActiveX control installed by Communicator(Lync) if you use Windows. But you can have presence indicator when you use Office clients such as Outlook for Mac.
I’ll try to update this post when I have more information…

-->Office for Mac applications provide a native app experience on the macOS platform. Each app is designed to work in a variety of scenarios, including states when no network access is available. When a machine is connected to a network, the applications automatically connect to a series of web-based services to provide enhanced functionality. The following information describes which endpoints and URLs the applications try to reach, and the services provided. This information is useful when troubleshooting network configuration issues and setting policies for network proxy servers. The details in this article are intended to complement the Office 365 URL and address ranges article, which includes endpoints for computers running Microsoft Windows. Unless noted, the information in this article also applies to Office 2019 for Mac and Office 2016 for Mac, which are available as a one-time purchase from a retail store or through a volume licensing agreement.
Most of this article is tables detailing network URLs, type, and description of service or feature provided by that endpoint. Each of the Office apps may differ in its service and endpoint usage. The following apps are defined in the tables below:
- W: Word
- P: PowerPoint
- X: Excel
- O: Outlook
- N: OneNote
The URL type is defined as follows:
ST: Static - The URL is hard-coded into the client application.
SS: Semi-Static - The URL is encoded as part of a web page or redirector.
CS: Config Service - The URL is returned as part of the Office Configuration Service.

Options for reducing network requests and traffic
The default configuration of Office for Mac provides the best user experience, both in terms of functionality and keeping the machine up to date. In some scenarios, you may wish to prevent applications from contacting network endpoints. This section discusses options for doing so.
Disabling Cloud Sign-In and Office Add-Ins
Volume License customers may have strict policies about saving documents to cloud-based storage. The following per-application preference can be set to disable MSA/OrgID Sign in, and access to Office Add-ins.
defaults write com.microsoft.Word UseOnlineContent -integer 0defaults write com.microsoft.Excel UseOnlineContent -integer 0defaults write com.microsoft.Powerpoint UseOnlineContent -integer 0
If users try to access the Sign-In function, they will see an error that a network connection is not present. Because this preference also blocks online product activation, it should only be used for Volume License installations. Specifically, using this preference will prevent Office applications from accessing the following endpoints:
https://odc.officeapps.live.comhttps://*.firstpartyapps.oaspapps.comAll endpoints listed in the 'Sign In' section above.
All endpoints listed in the 'Smart Lookup' section above.
All endpoints listed in the 'Product Activation' section above.
All endpoints listed in the 'Office Apps (aka add-ins)' section above.
To re-establish full functionality for the user, either set the preference to '2' or remove it.
Note
This preference requires Office for Mac build 15.25 [160726] or later.
Telemetry
Mac Microsoft Document Connection Windows 10
Office for Mac sends telemetry information back to Microsoft at regular intervals. Data is uploaded to the 'Nexus' endpoint. The telemetry data helps the engineering team assess the health and any unexpected behaviors of each Office app. There are two categories of telemetry:
Heartbeat contains version and license information. This data is sent immediately upon app launch.
Usage contains information about how apps are being used and non-fatal errors. This data is sent every 60 minutes.
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection
Microsoft takes your privacy very seriously. You can read about Microsoft's data collection policy at https://privacy.microsoft.com. To prevent applications from sending 'Usage' telemetry, the SendAllTelemetryEnabled preference can be adjusted. The preference is per-application, and can be set via macOS Configuration Profiles, or manually from Terminal:
defaults write com.microsoft.Word SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE
defaults write com.microsoft.Excel SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE
defaults write com.microsoft.Powerpoint SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE
defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE
defaults write com.microsoft.onenote.mac SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE
defaults write com.microsoft.autoupdate2 SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE
defaults write com.microsoft.Office365ServiceV2 SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE
Heartbeat telemetry is always sent and cannot be disabled.
Crash reporting
When a fatal application error occurs, the application will unexpectedly terminate and upload a crash report to the 'Watson' service. The crash report consists of a call-stack, which is the list of steps the application was processing leading up to the crash. These steps help the engineering team identify the exact function that failed and why.
In some cases, the contents of a document will cause the application to crash. If the app identifies the document as the cause, it will ask the user if it's okay to also send the document along with the call-stack. Users can make an informed choice to this question. IT administrators may have strict requirements about the transmission of documents and make the decision on behalf of the user to never send documents. The following preference can be set to prevent documents from being sent, and to suppress the prompt to the user:
defaults write com.microsoft.errorreporting IsAttachFilesEnabled -bool FALSE
Note
If SendAllTelemetryEnabled is set to FALSE, all crash reporting for that process is disabled. To enable crash reporting without sending usage telemetry, the following preference can be set: defaults write com.microsoft.errorreporting IsMerpEnabled -bool TRUE
Updates
Mac Microsoft Document Connection For Mac
Microsoft releases Office for Mac updates at regular intervals (typically once a month). We strongly encourage users and IT administrators to keep machines up to date to ensure the latest security fixes are installed. In cases where IT administrators want to closely control and manage machine updates, the following preference can be set to prevent the AutoUpdate process from automatically detecting and offering product updates:
defaults write com.microsoft.autoupdate2 HowToCheck -string 'Manual'
Microsoft Document Connection Mac Os X
Blocking Requests with a Firewall/Proxy
If your organization blocks requests to URLs via a firewall or proxy server be sure to configure the URLs listed in this document as either allowed, or block listed with a 40X response (e.g. 403 or 404). A 40X response will allow the Office applications to gracefully accept the inability to access the resource, and will provide a faster user experience, than simply dropping the connection, which in turn will cause the client to retry.
If your proxy server requires authentication, a 407 response will be returned to the client. For the best experience, ensure that you're using Office for Mac builds 15.27 or later, as they include specific fixes for working with NTLM and Kerberos servers.
