Adding SharePoint Directory to File Explorer
Hi,
I am attempting to add a SharePoint site which contains a number of subsites to one of our users File Explorer so that they can access the subsites via their desk top.
I am having issues doing this and have tried the following:
- Opened the 'Internet Options' >'Security' Tab > 'Trusted Sites' > 'Sites' > add 'Root'. I come out of the Security Tab and into the 'Advanced' Tab and make sure that 'SSL3.0' is ticked.
- I then go to 'Map Network Drive' > select a Drive letter > add the full SharePoint Site URL > select Connect using different credentials > Finish
- I am then asked to add Microsoft credentials Credentials but receive an error message
I am unsure what to do from here or if I am missing something.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many Thanks
Tom

You may want to look at other options since IE11 support will end by 15 June 2022.
Other options (list is not extensive):
- OneDrive for Business client (though not available for older SharePoint on-premise versions)
- Use web-based tools that mimic Explorer (example)
- Use client side tools (e.g. https://community.spiceworks.com/products/64016-thinkscape-zee-drive)
- Use PowerShell script to create drive mappings (not very stable)
