Opening SharePoint Online Document Library in One Drive Online ("Explorer View")

Hi StevePenner  - If you are using Internet Explorer, then you'll see a "View in File Explorer" option in the views menu on a library:

This requires Internet Explorer and only works on Windows (no Mac/Linux/Chromebook).  Note that IE 11 support for SharePoint Online ends on August 17, 2021.

Explorer view was essentially replaced with file sync in the last few years and Microsoft has been slowly removing/reducing it.  I understand the security concerns, but maybe your IT security administrators can look into new features that help secure file sync (domain restriction was the one that allowed my former company to deploy it).

Here's a support article with Microsoft's recommendations that you should check out too: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/view-and-open-sharepoint-files-with-file-explorer-66b574bb-08b4-46b6-a6a0-435fd98194cc
