SharePoint "Open with Explorer"

Hi   Can we expect the Library feature "Open with Explorer" in SharePoint to be available in the new Edge C browser?   Thank you

Hi moraise, to enable the "Open with Explorer" functionality you need to run the page in IE-Mode.  This is because that feature is supported by an Active-X component.  You can find out more about how to set up IE-Mode and add it to the site list manager here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-ie-mode.  Thanks - Elliot

Hmm, we are using the IE Mode for our "old" Sharepoint 2013 environment; compat-mode is IE11 and open-in is IE11 as well.

But the "Open with explorer" is still not working 😞

 

Can anybody confirm that the "webdav function" is working with ie mode?

And if so share his configuration?

 

Thanks a lot

    Just to let you know: For Sharepoint 2013 use compat-mode IE10 and everything works as expected 🙂
