SharePoint 2013 - Only a limited set of people are allowed to share this content error

SharePoint provides a feature to the users to "Share" the site or the content to other users or groups and grant permissions to the same.
But sometimes an error is thrown "Only a limited set of people are allowed to share this content" while a share attempt is made in spite of the user having the desired permissions.

Solution:

 Enable "Allow access requests" under the Access Requests Settings.

Access Requests Settings could be found under Site Settings->Site permissions.

Issue:  Unable to upload files to SharePoint document library irrespective of the document size. Solution: When you delete items from a SharePoint site, they're sent to the site Recycle Bin. When you delete items from a site Recycle Bin, they're sent to the site collection Recycle Bin.  A SharePoint site collection administrator can view and restore deleted items from the site collection Recycle Bin to their original locations.

Under the Site Collection Administration, click on "Recycle bin". 3. Delete the unwanted files.

Changes to your data cannot be saved" in the excel sheet to which the data has been exported. But I was able to export the data using "System Account" without any issue!  The user has full control over the site and there should not be any permissions related issues.  What could be the issue then?  It might seem silly but this is what happened. Humans make mistakes :) My fellow team mate who had been asked to create the view, created a "Personal" view instead of creating a "Public" view !  "Personal" view is i...

"Export to Spreadsheet" option in SharePoint list web part does not export all the columns

We all knew that the SharePoint list can be embedded in a web part page using the list web part. The list web part provides us with various properties which can be customized as per the requirement. One such property is the "Toolbar" . If "Show Toolbar" option is set, we would be provided with 3 tabs namely "New", "Actions" and "Settings".  The list data can be exported to an excel using the "Export to Spreadsheet"  option found under the "Actions" tabs.  Now here is the issue, suppose we have 10 columns in the list and we would like to show only 5 columns in the page, we would create a view in such a way that the page shows only the 5 columns.  If the data is exported from this page using the "Export to Spreadsheet" option, all the columns would definitely get exported, but the values would be exported only for those 5 columns which are shown on the page. This is because, the "Export to Spread...
