Mapping a Shared Documents folder in SharePoint

Posted on Feb 20, 2009 by admin

SharePoint makes uploading documents easier than ever.  “Out-of-the-box”  SharePoint has an upload button located within every Document or Picture library.  But wouldn’t it be easier to simply click and drag documents to a specific location within SharePoint?  Here is how to do it.

These directions are for Vista but you will find many similarities with whichever Windows OS you are running.

Go to My Computer

Click Map Network drive

 

Choose a Drive: Letter.  Copy and Paste in the address of SharePoint where you want to click and drag documents to.  Then Click Finish

 

After this is completed, a window should open up.  Now you can click and drag documents to this location.  Then the next time you are in SharePoint these will appear in your document library!  It is the easiest and fastest way to upload documents.
