Hi Roland. Microsoft have a support article on mapping network drives here https://support.office.com/en-us/article/how-to-configure-and-to-troubleshoot-mapped-network-drives-that-connect-to-sharepoint-online-sites-in-office-365-ef399c67-4578-4c3a-adbe-0b489084eabe

 

If you prefer a supported solution for http://www.thinkscape.com/Map-Network-Drives-To-Office-365-OneDrive/. Zee Drive provides the core drive mapping functionality plus file management features that are available directly from the File Explorer context menu.

    Hi Myles,

     

    the Microsoft support article works for me.

    https://support.office.com/en-us/article/how-to-configure-and-to-troubleshoot-mapped-network-drives-that-connect-to-sharepoint-online-sites-in-office-365-ef399c67-4578-4c3a-adbe-0b489084eabe

    But I do not find the "stay signed in" option in our SharePoint online.

     

    Kind regards,

    Roland
