How to map your MS-Windows Live Skydrive/Office online storage as a network share to work natively with cloud storage
This allows you access cloud storage files (Note: works only for MS-Office files) as easily as within MS-Windows, and without having to deal with web browser incompatibilities.
Setup:
- If you know the URL of your MS-Office online Skydrive (how?),
- in Windows 7, go to Network / Map network drive:
- Enter the URL that SkyDrive gives you, make sure to change “https:”to “http:”, select a drive letter:
- And voilà: An MS-Skydrive WebDAV location as a drive in your Windows Explorer:
Troubleshooting:
- if you have try this over the (restrictive) university wireless, you seem to get errors (“The file cannot be accessed by the system”):
- Interestingly after successfully receiving the authentication challenge from the resource
- If you have successfully mapped the drive over the non-wireless and then try to access it over the wireless, you may get this (0x80070035: ”The network path was not found”):
