Map SharePoint to File Explorer

SharePoint document library files can be synchronized to appear in File Explorer under a OneDrive (Universities of Wisconsin) location. Multiple SharePoint document libraries can be added. This works the same as a mapped network drive.
  1. Go to your Documents library on your SharePoint site in a browser.
