How to Map Network Drive to a SharePoint Folder

Mapping SharePoint Site/Folder to a network drive is only available with Windows Explorer.  This won’t work with Edge or any other browser.

If your SharePoint URL

https://www.MyCompanySite.SharePoint.Com

And the name of the site MySite (could be blank as it’s the root of SharePoint), and the folder on the root to map called Compliance.

1- Go to Control Panel, Internet Options and add that site to Trusted Site list.

2- Open Internet Explorer, login to the share point site and save password on log in.

https://mycompanysite.sharepoint.com/sites/MySite/Shared Documents/Compliance

3- Map the network drive to the Compliance SharePoint folder using the following format

In Explorer choose to Map a network drive, choose a drive and point it to

https://MyCompanySite.SharePoint.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\sites\MySite\Shared Documents\Compliance

    I have Windows 11. Step 2 says Open Internet Explorer. This is no longer available – only Edge. Will this work the same?
