SP 2010 - Microsoft Office 2010 Upload Center Error

When you are using Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010, I recently noticed one of the users in our environment got this error message. The user was trying to make changes to a document in a SharePoint document library and trying to save it

"Your Changes were saved but could not be uploaded because of an error. You may be able to upload this file using the server web page."

The error was due to documents getting upload by Microsoft Office Upload Center. Microsoft Upload Center is and add-on that gets install with Office 2010 suite. This probably is saving document to its drafts and not letting it upload the changes. 

Method 1:

All things you have to do is as follows:

1. Open regedit.exe

2. Naviagate to following key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Internet]
3. Click Edit Menu -> New -> DWORD with name of "FSSHTTPOff" (without quotes)

4. Click on "FSSHTTPOff" and enter value of 1

5. Close any Office Applications and browser sessions

6. Try to reopen your document (no more read only or failure to upload)

Method 2:

For starters, if you don't want it, don't run Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010 (what used to be called Groove). Workspace also loads the Upload Center, even if you simply start it, then cancel before doing anything. It also sets some values in the Windows registry that cause Upload Center to load again every time you restart Windows.

Once it's been loaded there's no simple way to get rid of it, whether you want it or not.

Rude. Very very rude.

To get rid of Upload Center for the current Windows session:

• Press Ctrl + Alt + Del then click Task Manager.
• Click the Processes tab.
• Under Image Name, find MSOSYNC.EXE. Click it to select it.
• Click End Process.
• Do the same for OSPPSVC.EXE.
• Click Yes to the Task Manager Warning message.

If you don't want to repeat this little dance every time you restart Windows, you'll need stronger medicine.

When SharePoint Workspace runs, it makes some registry settings that cause a program called MSOSYNC.EXE to run every time Windows starts. The simplest way to prevent this is to find and rename MSOSYNC.EXE to MSOSYNC.NO! (it's in the folder where Office 14 is installed, in the Office 14 subfolder.) Do that, restart Windows and the Upload Center won't be there any longer. If you want it back, you can always rename MSOSYNC.NO! back to MSOSYNC.EXE and run SharePoint Workspace to start it up again.

Note that Upload Center might still re-appear if you re-install Office or install a service pack; either would probably install a new copy of MSOSYNC.EXE to replace the "missing" one.

If you prefer, you can edit the registry to get rid of Upload Center. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg\OfficeSyncProcess and rename or delete the OfficeSyncProcess entry that points to the current location of MSOSYNC.EXE. If that didn't make sense to you, you probably should leave the registry alone.

Again, re-installing or updating Office will probably re-create the registry setting. And so will running SharePoint Workspace.

Of the two approaches, we'd recommend renaming MSOSYNC.EXE. It avoids the danger of editing the registry and will be more foolproof.

One last touch: you could also delete any shortcuts to SharePoint Workspace so that you don't accidentally run it again. You can always go to the Office 14 folder and double-click GROOVE.EXE to start it at will.
