Map Your SharePoint Site to a Computer

Once you get your SharePoint site set up, you can access files through O365 in your browser. But it may be more convenient to map the SharePoint drive to your computer. This means as a Windows user, you can see your site in the File Explorer window and if you are a Mac user, you can see the site in your Finder window.
