 How to Upload Multiple documents in SharePoint 2013

The "Upload Multiple" Documents option is deprecated in SharePoint 2013.we can use the below ways to upload multiple documents.

§  Drag-and-Drop functionality.

§  Windows Explorer view 

 Method 1 : Using the drag-and-drop functionality

Microsoft has done an incredible job by adding this feature to the highly popular document libraries. On any document library you can now simply Drag and Drop the document and it will be upload with a quick progress bar.

Simply select multiple document from local and drag it onto the document library. The window will change to “Drop here..”

                                 

                                

You can see the Upload documents Status bar next at the Document Libraries title.

You would see Upload Complete once the upload completes.

Note: Feature will not work with the IE version Internet Explorer version 8.0.6001.18702IC

  Method 2 : Windows Explorer view

To Open Windows Explorer click on Upload Document button as shown in picture below

                           

                

Next in the Add Documents popup click on “Upload Files using windows Explorer Instead”

                                                     

we will expect the following error

                             

To resolve this add the SharePoint site as Trusted in your Browser and Make sure that the Web Client service is running. Follow step below to resolve this.

  Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then press Enter.In the list of services, locate the Web Client service, and then make sure that its status in the Status column is set to Started. If its status is not set to Started, double-click Web Client, click Start, and then click OK.

Once done restart the browser and try opening the Windows Explorer again. In the Windows Explorer you can copy and paste Multiple documents as done in earlier SharePoint versions.

Microsoft office web apps server 2013 can’t be installed on the same machine as a Microsoft SharePoint server product

 Microsoft office web apps server 2013 can’t be installed on the same machine as a Microsoft SharePoint server product

                                                      

    Cause: The server you choose can't have SharePoint running on it or any web application running on port 80. Also, Microsoft Office (or any Office component) cannot be installed.

    Solution: there is no work around or solution for this apart from choosing separate server to install web components. We must choose another server for Web App components.

Servers that run Office Web Apps Server Preview must not run any other server application below. 

     

·        Exchange Server

·        SharePoint Server

·        Lync Server

·        SQL Server

·        No version of the desktop Office suite
