I want to export the contents of the default document library with SP online. I'm able to do so with a small site of which I'm the owner, but in a larger site on which I've tested this capability with full administrator privileges I get only a single row, always the same Word file, yet there are several thousand documents in the library. I've tried several things without success:
- Looking at only a single subfolder produces an empty export, except when using the folder containing that Word file.
- Adding files to other folders still produces the same single file output when attempting to export from the full document library. I assume this means that the problem is not a result of the number of documents.
- Moving the Word file to another folder still produces that single row with that same file when searching the full library.
- Creating a new view and filtering it to only a few dates, then exporting still produces the single-row excel file with that Word file, even though it's not in that date range.
- So far as I can tell there is nothing special about the filename: 20210413 LRSP Agenda.docx. It opens, edits and saves normally.
- I receive no error messages when performing the export.
I welcome suggestions.
