Posted on  by 

To delink the iTunes application to the new library location: Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows). In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button. Select the iTunes folder you moved to the external hard drive. Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside. Set up and use iCloud for Windows - see the Options button in the iCloud setup window to change the folder name or location. 'When you turn on Photos, iCloud for Windows creates a Photos folder in File Explorer called iCloud Photos. I will be showing you how to do this on the Google Photos App. Step 5: On the App info screen, scroll down to the App settings section. Now tap on the Set as default option. You will notice that it says Set as Default under the same wording.

You can specify up to 30 organization asset libraries for a single organization. All of these libraries (regardless of type) must be on the same site. Only libraries (not folders) can be set as organization asset libraries.

If your organization needs to store and manage files for all your users to use, you can specify one or more document libraries on a SharePoint site as an 'organization assets library.' You can create two types of organization assets:

  • Images such as photos and logos. When a user adds a web part to any modern page in SharePoint and that web part opens the file picker, the user can select 'Your organization' in the left pane to browse the libraries you've specified.

  • PowerPoint templates. When a user selects to create a new PowerPoint presentation (from PowerPoint for the web or the PowerPoint desktop app), the user can select the tab for your organization to see the templates. (In PowerPoint for the web, the templates aren't available from the New menu. Users who want to create a file from a template need to go to the PowerPoint start page and select Office Template Library).

    Note

    • For the organization assets library to appear to a user in PowerPoint on the web, the user must be assigned a license to Office 365 E3 or E5. For users who use the PowerPoint desktop app, they also need Microsoft 365 Apps Version 2002 or later.
    • Allow up to 24 hours for the organization assets library to appear to a user in the desktop apps.
    • The files uploaded to the library must be in the template format .potx. Learn how to save a PowerPoint file in this format)

Use Microsoft PowerShell to specify a library as an organization assets library

  1. Select an existing site or create a new site for the organization assets. This can be any type of site, such as a communication site, an Office 365 group-connected team site, or a modern team site that isn't connected to an Office 365 group.

    Note

    All organization asset libraries must be on the same site.

  2. Set the permissions on the site. Add the people you want to be able to upload files as members or owners of the site or Office 365 group. Add 'Everyone except external users' as visitors. If necessary, customize the permissions for the library. You can customize the permissions of up to 100 files and folders in the library.

  3. Upload the images or PowerPoint templates to a document library.

  4. Download the latest SharePoint Online Management Shell.

    Note

    If you installed a previous version of the SharePoint Online Management Shell, go to Add or remove programs and uninstall 'SharePoint Online Management Shell.'

  5. Connect to SharePoint as a global admin in Microsoft 365. To learn how, see Getting started with SharePoint Online Management Shell.

  6. Run the following command to designate the document library as an organization assets library:

LibraryURL is the absolute URL of the library to be designated as a central location for organization assets. ThumbnailURL is the URL for the image file that you want to appear in the card's background in the file picker; this image must be on the same site as the library. The name publicly displayed for the library will be the name of the library on the SharePoint site. OrgAssetType is either ImageDocumentLibrary or OfficeTemplateLibrary. If you don't specify the OrgAssetType, the library will be designated as an image library by default. If you don't specify the CdnType, it will enable a private CDN by default. Learn more about the Add-SPOOrgAssetsLibrary cmdlet.

Example:

Add-SPOOrgAssetsLibrary -LibraryURL https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/branding/Assets -ThumbnailURL https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/branding/Assets/contosologo.jpg -OrgAssetType ImageDocumentLibrary

Note

Adding an organization assets library will enable a content delivery network (CDN) for your organization to provide fast and reliable performance for shared assets. You'll be prompted to enable a CDN for each organization asset library you add. For more information, see Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).

This cmdlet is available in on-premises Exchange and in the cloud-based service. Some parameters and settings may be exclusive to one environment or the other.

Use the Set-UserPhoto cmdlet to configure the user photos feature that allows users to associate a picture with their account. User photos appear in on-premises and cloud-based client applications, such as Outlook on the web, Lync, Skype for Business, and SharePoint.

For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Exchange cmdlet syntax.

Syntax

Description

The user photos feature allows users to associate a picture with their account. User photos are stored in the user's Active Directory account and in the root directory of the user's Exchange mailbox. Administrators use the Set-UserPhoto cmdlet to configure user photos. Users can upload, preview, and save a user photo to their account by using the Outlook on the web Options page. When a user uploads a photo, a preview of the photo is displayed on the Outlook on the web Options page. This is the preview state, and creates the same result as running the Set-UserPhoto cmdlet using the Preview parameter. If the user clicks Save, the preview photo is saved as the user's photo. This is the same result as running the Set-UserPhoto -Save command or running both the Set-UserPhoto -Preview and Set-UserPhoto -Save commands. If the user cancels the preview photo on the Outlook on the web Options page, then the Set-UserPhoto -Cancel command is called.

A user photo must be set for a user before you can run the Get-UserPhoto cmdlet to view information about the user's photo. Otherwise, you'll get an error message saying the user photo doesn't exist for the specified user. Alternatively, you can run the Get-UserPhoto -Preview command to view information about a preview photo.

Note: Changes to the user photo won't appear in SharePoint until the affected user visits their profile page (My Site) or any SharePoint page that shows their large thumbnail image.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although this topic lists all parameters for the cmdlet, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To find the permissions required to run any cmdlet or parameter in your organization, see Find the permissions required to run any Exchange cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1

This example uploads and saves a photo to Paul Cannon's user account using a single command.

Example 2

This example shows how to use two commands to upload and save a preview photo to Ann Beebe's user account. The first command uploads a preview photo to Ann Beebe's user account, and the second command saves the uploaded photo as the preview photo.

Example 3

This example deletes the preview photo that was uploaded in the previous example.

Parameters

The Cancel switch parameter deletes the photo that's currently uploaded as the preview photo. You don't need to specify a value with this switch.

To delete the photo that's currently associated with a user's account, use the Remove-UserPhoto cmdlet. The Cancel switch only deletes the preview photo.

The Confirm switch specifies whether to show or hide the confirmation prompt. How this switch affects the cmdlet depends on if the cmdlet requires confirmation before proceeding.

  • Destructive cmdlets (for example, Remove-* cmdlets) have a built-in pause that forces you to acknowledge the command before proceeding. For these cmdlets, you can skip the confirmation prompt by using this exact syntax: -Confirm:$false.
  • Most other cmdlets (for example, New-* and Set-* cmdlets) don't have a built-in pause. For these cmdlets, specifying the Confirm switch without a value introduces a pause that forces you acknowledge the command before proceeding.

The IgnoreDefaultScope switch tells the command to ignore the default recipient scope setting for the Exchange Management Shell session and to use the entire forest as the scope. This allows the command to access Active Directory objects that aren't currently available in the default scope.

Using the IgnoreDefaultScope switch introduces the following restrictions:

  • You can't use the DomainController parameter. The command uses an appropriate global catalog server automatically.
  • You can only use the DN for the Identity parameter. Other forms of identification, such as alias or GUID, aren't accepted.
