SharePoint shortcuts
Shortcuts to SharePoint allow you to quickly open files within File Explorer or applications, just as you would with a network drive. Depending on your permissions, some may already exist and can be found under Network location: look for shortcuts starting with ‘SP-‘ such as ‘SP-Policies’ or ‘SP-Managers’. You may create your own shortcuts as below.
Network location
To add a network location, right-click inside the Computer window, choose ‘Add a network location’ and follow instructions.
The location is the URL of a SharePoint site or library. For example:
- https://sp.dawsoncollege.qc.ca/
- https://sp.dawsoncollege.qc.ca/Policies
- https://sp.dawsoncollege.qc.ca/managers
Map Network drive
You may also map a network drive to a SharePoint location. In the Computer window, choose ‘Map network drive’ and set the URL as above.
