• Open Computer by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Computer.

• Select Map network drive.

On the next window click the text that says: Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures

• Enter the address to your SharePoint site, for example: https://username.sharesrvr.com

• *Replace the word “username” with your SharePoint site username.

• You can now login to the SharePoint server with your email address and email password.

What if you experience connection problems?

1. The first thing to ‎is check your username and password.

2. Now that you have checked the password is correct, it may just be a
simply connection error. Try un-selecting ‘remember my password’ and
see if the error occurs. You may also need to try a couple times.

Correct. All site content would be available once the drive has been mapped.
