It used to be posssible to mount Sharepoint as a network drive with a letter like U:, now with Internet Explorer being out of service that’s no longer possible;

Google Drive also supports this feature and it’s extremely useful, why:

– If you use a lot of Excel files with Sharepoint and want to link them, it’s not easy because onedrive folders are stored in user folders so the path changes with the username;

– Some programs use Project files that load other files with a full path, not relative path, so it’s not compatible with Onedrive;

– Users constantly confuse the personal Onedrive folder with the Sharepoint folder, having a network drive instantly simplifies this for the user;

– As an MSP employee we often cannot sell a 365 solution because everything the company has traditionally done is with network drive letters and it’s not possible to transition even simple file servers to Sharepoint without months of work.

Please add this to Onedrive, thank you!
