Frequently Asked Questions

What SharePoint URL should I use when mapping to File Explorer?

You should use the full SharePoint site URL, typically in the format https://yourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename. You can copy this URL directly from your SharePoint site's address bar in your web browser.

Can I map multiple SharePoint sites to File Explorer?

Yes, you can map multiple SharePoint sites by repeating the mapping process for each site. Each mapped site will appear as a separate network drive in File Explorer with its own drive letter.

What happens if I lose internet connection after mapping SharePoint?

When offline, you won't be able to access the mapped SharePoint files through File Explorer. However, any files you've previously synced or opened will remain in your local cache and become accessible again once your internet connection is restored.
