Add shortcut to OneDrive (Access SharePoint files through File Explorer)
When someone shares a folder in Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, or
Teams, you can add a shortcut to the shared folder in your OneDrive to
easily find and work with the files. These shortcuts appear in OneDrive
on the web, Windows File Explorer, Mac Finder, Teams, and in the
OneDrive mobile apps.
In a shared library in SharePoint or Microsoft Teams, you can select Add shortcut to OneDrive to add a shortcut to the entire library or select the specific folder you want to add, and then select Add shortcut to OneDrive.
The
more files and folders there are, the longer it will take for your
computer to list out all the files after clicking Add shortcut to OneDrive
It can take anywhere from a few
seconds for small sites, to a few hours for sites with thousands of
files so don't worry if they aren't all available to browse immediately
In large sites, consider adding a shortcut to the sub-folder(s) you need, instead of from the top level
In a SharePoint site on the web through Edge/Chrome, navigate to the folder you want a shortcut to and click the Add shortcut to OneDrive button
In Teams desktop app, select a team, select a channel, e.g. "General", then select the "Files" tab, navigate to the folder you want a shortcut to and click the Add shortcut to OneDrive button
it might be hidden under the "three dots" menu on smaller screens
The Add shortcut to My files option isn't available when:
You've already added the folder to your OneDrive, or you have more than one folder selected. (You can't add multiple folders at the same time.)
The item you're trying to add isn't a folder. (Add shortcut to My files isn't available for individual files or for collections of files such as albums.)
You've already added 100 shortcuts in the same document library.
A link to files will then be inside your OneDrive folder (the blue cloud icon). The linked folder will have a blue chainlink icon, and the status column will also show a chainlink icon
