Mapping input files to new Sharepoint

Question

Hello,

Our organization just moved to Teams/SharePoint and we are having trouble mapping our input files. Given the new SharePoint doesn't have the "open in File Explorer" option, we need help on best practices for mapping files.

Help!

Thanks so much,

Valerie

Hi @valeriemattas

Unfortunately I don't have much experience with Sharepoint. I've had similar issues come up with Box, where in my file explorer it's pointed at my username, but other members on my team have the same file path with their username. In those cases I had luck with using relative paths.

Hi @Luke_C  -- Thank you! Mapping my drive helps sync files for me to access using a file explorer, however, that file path is directed to my user account. These are shared folders, so when I map it to my file explorer it doesn't show for other users with access to the folder.
