SharePoint list - is a list of (text) data. SharePoint library - is a list of documents; you make it so simple and so clear to understand. Thanks a lot! :)

Double Thumbs up. No, QUADRUPLE. Thanks so much! You always explain things in a way that puts the conclusion right up front. It helps me decide which feature will suit my work projects best.

I like to use sharepoint list attachments for final versions of documents that will no longer be edited. Old product specs and archived material that is no longer active where we don't need the file management options. Since you are generally looking for an old product by its code or category its much easier to search the archive list and then download the attachments if you need them.

Hi Greg: Another great video. Thank you so much. One suggestion might be to explain the two views, Client Docs (Folders) and Client Docs (Metadata), shown in Quick Launch of your video. As memory serves me, you can have files in multiple folders but display them all together in a flat view. Not sure how, though.

Another Great video. Thank you. How to manage document library for large numbers of files like 1 million files and avoid List View threshold. I don't know if there file management in share point instead of creating multiple folders in the site contents.

Hi Greg, thanks for sharing this. I see you use folders in your Documents library at 3:22. I read a blog from you from a few years ago about not using folders, using metadata instead. What is your current stance on this? Thanks again, Sean.

so lists is basically an excel spreadsheet where we store items instead of storing files like in library and also libraries have document management functionality.

Hello Sir, may i ask how would I restrict attachments when uploading a certain file in the list. I would only want to allow pdf, xls and docs. Thank you sir

[ekaterinakhomenko]

Hi Greg! Would u please explain how to set up a column in Lists with current date? I mean so that a date would change day by day, showing current date, not only at the moment of creation of a record. I want to use it to count days left to deadline, but did not manage to find it in Support... thanks!

Hi Greg,

is it possible to use a list in 2 different sites? I would like to display the data items. For example, I would like to use the existing list app in my parent page to display the data to a subsite.

To request a service in the organization that I work, I have to fill a form and attatch a few documents like blueprints, documents and etc... In this case, should I use Share Point List ou Library?

[tejaswiniyatham]

Hello Sir, Is it possible to convert share point list data in to PPT and how?

[MotokoTai]

Hi, if I want to become a sharepoint administrator are there specific things I need to learn about sharepoint?

[peterbull]

When I go to add an app, I get very limited options compared to the video. I only get [Document Library, Calendar, Custom List, Import Spreadsheet, Site Mailbox]. Is this a licencing issue?

[annehipolito]

Hi, i would just like to ask. Why do i need a list everytime i create a new workflow?

[carlosg]

If the sharepoint site is deleted. Will the firm lost all the documents?

[PerFeldvoss]

Cool, but why would you not simply link from the list to the document, and get both? Seems like an obvious option, that should work out of the box?

[jcepri]

I will never understand Sharepoint. It is so non-userfriendly.
