Connect to Sharepoint Online usin CMD/'net use'/'Add a network location' (without Internet explorer)
One of the primary issues with Mapped drives and SP Online is that with a SharePoint Online mapped drive on Windows 7, the mapped drive will not stay connected if the computer is restarted or you sign out.

In general, attempting to map a drive to SharePoint Online is not reliable and can cause numerous support tickets. Showing users how to Sync a desired document library is the recommended approach
Thanks for the reply.
I've seen that support article before.
The issue is that it requires the user to be logged into Internet Explorer first.
I would like to know if there are any options to allow the user to login using WebDAV or 'Add a network location' in Windows or Mac, without using Internet Explorer.
Using the sync client to sync various locations on SPO with different logins is a bit of an issue. Where as, 'Add a network location' is a quick and easy way of browsing SPO items and disconnecting when done.
Any update on this? Having the same problem...
