Update Offline Client Availability from Yes to No with Power Automate

Posted on by JennC

I'm new to Power Automate but I'm wondering if it's possible to build a flow to update the Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Offline Client Availability (Allow items from this document library to be downloaded to offline clients) > from "Yes" to "No".

I'm hoping maybe this can be done using the action 'Send an HTTP request to SharePoint' and someone might have a screenshot of how to go about building this flow? Thanks!

Hi @JennC ,

Please try this:

_api/web/lists/getbytitle('<your library name>')

{ "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose", "content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose", "X-HTTP-Method": "MERGE", "if-match": "*" }

{ "__metadata":{"type":"SP.List"}, "ExcludeFromOfflineClient":"true" }

@v-xiaochen-msft thanks for providing this suggestion!

I'm not sure if I built the flow wrong but I get the error Action 'Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint' failed (The parameter __metadata does not exist in method GetByTitle.) as per the below screenshots.

@v-xiaochen-msft I re-did the copy and paste and it worked this time, thanks so much!

Would there be anyway to run this across all document libraries in a specified SharePoint site (or even the whole tenant)?

Hi @JennC ,

If you want to set it for the whole site, please try this:

_api/web

{ "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose", "content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose", "X-HTTP-Method": "MERGE" }
{ "__metadata":{"type":"SP.Web"}, "ExcludeFromOfflineClient":"false" }

@v-xiaochen-msft The flow runs successfully, but unfortunately it doesn't remove the Sync button from any of the documents libraries in the nominated SharePoint site.
