The URL 'XXX' is invalid. It may refer to a nonexistent file or folder, or refer to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web.

When trying to upload document or attachment, the error "The URL 'XXX' is invalid. It may refer to a nonexistent file or folder, or refer to a valid file or folder that is not in the current Web. " comes up.

This could come up if Sharepoint 2010 is installed as stand-alone server and the content DB has reached 4GB. When SP2010 is installed as stand-alone server, it stores all the databases in SQL Express 2008, which comes bundled with SP2010. It would not configure to any other server instances, even if it is installed in the server.

To resolve the issue, refer the link http://www.smattie.com/2012/04/14/how-to-fix-sql-server-express-db-size-limitation-of-4-gb/

Or else take a backup of the farm and uninstall Sharepoint 2010 and reinstall as a single server farm installation.
Configure it with SQL 2008 developer or enterprise edition or with SQL 2008 R2 edition.
Restore the content DB to the new setup and perform a DB upgrade command on the restored content DB.

How to link to Download a copy option in Office 365/SharePoint 2013

At times it is required to have the option to save a copy of a document uploaded in SharePoint document library, in a page or a webpart. The url to get the save option for a doc is - http:// site /_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl= url-of-document-in-library Change the bold text with the actual url, i.e., with the site url and the url to the doc in the doc library.

Examples of utility function in SPD 2010 workflows

In SPD workflows, under Actions, there is a set of Utility functions.
