Windows 10: map network drive to Office 365

The "OneDrive for Business" client software is the best way to sync files on your computer with OneDrive (and SharePoint) in Windows 10; files are automatically synchronized in both directions. Click here to install the client software: https://portal.office.com/OLS/MySoftware.aspx?source=ohp-ib

You may also choose to map a network drive (a "live" view of the files). In this article we demonstrate how to map a network drive using Windows 10.

Make sure that you are signed in to Office 365

Open Internet Explorer (do not use Chrome or Firefox or any other browser). Sign in to the http://portal.office.com by using your Office 365 work account credentials. Make sure that you click to select the Keep me signed in check box.

Click into the OneDrive or SharePoint library, and view the main Files or Documents (files & folders).

Switch to Classic view (click the link in the bottom-left of page):

Copy library URL

Once in Classic view, click the settings cog (top-right menu) and ensure that Ribbon is On:

Click the LIBRARY tab, then click Open view Explorer

Once explorer opens, click the URL and copy the text (Ctrl + C); we'll need to paste this text later

Open File Explorer

Now that we have the online library's URL, we're ready to map a network location on the computer.

Press the Windows logo key with the E key (Win + E), then on the Computer tab click Map network drive

Choose Connect to a Website...(then click Next)

Click Choose a custom network location, then click Next

Paste in the URL that you copied earlier (Ctrl + V) and click Next

Give the new network location a meaningful name, and click Next

Click Finish, and confirm that the network location is now mapped and ready to use within Windows Explorer
