Map to networksdrive
Hi We have a SharePoint page with a lot of files that I would like to map to a network drive. I have tried to do these things https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/map-a-network-drive-to-a-sh...
Do not do that. It will be the worst experience you can do. You do not want to make a drive over the internet. Just use the OneDrive sync client. It does the exact same thing and you would have 100% better experience.
It was great when the SP farm is on the local network, but you should not do that over the internet. If you only knew the number of cases submitted for tech support on this issue, and it's not supported.
You need to understand how "Files on Demand" works and you will know the cloud icon is fine, you can still see all your files but they are not cached on the machine. If you need one, just click on it. It opens the exact same way it would if it's on your machine. Less the half a second to open.

1000 Thank you for your input. Very interesting reading. Definitely think I do it instead. Do you know how to increase disk space - can see we have about 212 GB.couple of questions
where do you see the 212gigs? Is that what you are your using online? If so, you can sync all 212gigs to your machine, and it won’t even take up 1gig in your machine. You can make it take all 212 gigs if you wanted it to, or you can not make it take up any space. That is what “files on demand” does for you.
i guess I’m having a hard time understanding your question.
do you want alll the files synced to your machine? If so, you can do that, but then the question is why? Why would you want that?
Sorry for my bad English 😉
I don't mean sync. But how much data size on my online SharePoint site to files.

250 GB - File upload limit. Applies to each individual file uploaded to Microsoft Teams Files tab, SharePoint document libraries, OneDrive folders, and Yammer conversations.
Thanks
