.ASPX Files Now Download Instead of Launching from SharePoint
Hi IraBrown-57cd02, I got a similar response stating that they don't support the HTML to ASPX approach. I did however find a workaround by using my OneDrive online account and giving access to those in my company that needed it. I'm not sure if you use OneDrive but that could also work for you if so!
That sounds interesting - we use OneDrive. How did you save it?
We published it as a web object, then selected zip file, copied it into a non-zipped file that is in my OneDrive files and then changed the .html to .aspx. When I went to my OneDrive online, I clicked the story file and it opened in a browser as it used to do when I uploaded to Sharepoint. Once I gave my colleagues access to my personal OneDrive file that contained the story file then they were also able to view it in the browser. I have no clue why this works, but it is my approach for now!
Ah interesting... that works for me too! I'm not sure it is the answer to everything as it means the resource doesn't sit on the Intranet so it loses integration / navigation benefits and, should I ever leave, the resource would leave with me. BUT - as I have no plans to leave (!) it is an interesting interim option. Thank you so much for sharing.
That's great news! I'm glad it worked for you too, even if it is just a temporary fix for the time being.
