Good day all!

After close to ten twelve years it's time to start anew.

Blogger made some changes that no longer allow image posting via Open Live Writer. Using the built-in Blogger editor is not a very happy place to be as it's limited and requires an internet connection.

So, we've set up a new location: http://blog.mpecsinc.com (SSL coming soon!).

The new blog feed is here: http://blog.mpecsinc.com/feed/

We will be posting all new content over at the new blog. And, as time permits copying the most popular posts over to keep things in one place as much as possible.

Thank you all for reading and for your support over these last twelve years! :)

SharePoint Online: Setting up a WebDav File/Windows Explorer Favourite and/or Mapped Drive

We’re working on setting up a project collaboration site in Office 365 SharePoint Online.

One of the simplest things to do to streamline document access is to set up a Favourite/Quick Access link in user’s File/Windows Explorer.

To do so:

1. Open the SharePoint Site in Internet Explorer
2. In Internet Options –> Trusted Sites set the slider to Low
3. Add the site to the Trusted Sites list and Apply & OK
4. Click on the Documents link
5. Click the Return to classic SharePoint link bottom left of the browser
6. Click the LIBRARY tab
7. Click the Open with Explorer button under Connect & Export
1. A credentials prompt may happen here
8. Drag the folder in the Address Bar to Favourites/Quick Access
9. Right click on the new shortcut and click on Properties
10. On the General tab:
1. Click and hold at the left of the Location: UNC path
2. Drag the mouse to the right to highlight the entire path and release the mouse button
3. Right click on the highlight and Copy
4. UNC path will look like: \\YOURDOMAINURI.sharepoint.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\

That UNC path can be used to map a drive via Group Policy Preferences so that all users will have access via File/Windows Explorer.
