Any third party tools to map SharePoint document library as mapped network drive inside user's machi
We have a requirement from one of our users that he need to map a SharePoint document library as a mapped drive inside his windows 11 machine. now using the built-in Map Network
does not seem to work on all users' machines. so, is there any 3rd party tools that can achieve this? we have disable OneDrive on all the users' machine because it is causing lot of issues when syncing the large amount of files that are been added,moved,deleted to the end users' machines.

Hi johnjohn-Peter,
various methods exist for mapping a SharePoint document library as a network drive on a user's machine:
Microsoft Support Approach:
Microsoft recommends using features such as "Add shortcut to My files" or the "Sync" feature rather than directly mapping a network drive to SharePoint.

Leveraging this older technology enables clients to access remote web content, allowing the mapping of SharePoint drives using Windows Explorer and the command prompt.

(LinkedIn)LeonPavesic Thanks for the reply, Yes I am on sharepoint online, does the 3rd party tool work like onedrvie where the files will be available offline (which we do not want), or it will work as a true mapped drive that will only be accessible when users are online (which we are looking for)? Thanks
