Adding a Shared OneDrive folder to your File Explorer

Modified on Mon, 21 Apr at 2:36 PM

If a folder is shared with you and plan on accessing that folder quite often, it might make sense to map a shortcut to that folder. 

 

To do so go to portal.office.com and open OneDrive. 


Select the Shared section in the left hand column.


Navigate to the folder and click the elipsis next to the folder. 


You should see "Add shortcut to My Files". Select this. 


A shortcut will be added to your "My Files" section. You can find this in the left hand column just above the Share option you clicked previously. 

 


If you Sync your OneDrive to your computer, the folder you just added a shortcut for, will show in your computer's 


File Explorer. 


If you don't have your OneDrive mapped, please see the article "Mapping OneDrive And SharePoint Folders To File Explorer".
