Jesper,

Thank you, your add to favorites trick worked. What the hell is MS doing? These kinds of tricks should be necessary for sophomoric apps, not MS stuff. Just wasted 2 hours of my life and 2 of my partner's to get this working. Can we bill MS for our time?

Hi Jesper, my name is Johanna and I am struggeling with this Issue. My URL does not contain: https, nor .com.

How should I add the Internet or network address? (To add a map networkdrive folder)

It gives me error all the time :(

Thanks!

Is there already a solution for this horrible problem?

I want to have a map for my company documents, not surfing trough my browser, that costs many many extra time.

It's not that hard to have a simple description how to fix this permanent?!

If MS Has thought about this scenario they didn't think it through at all!

EVERYONE I have put onto Office 365 wants this feature to be persistant and every last customer is bitterly disappointed when I tell them it can't be done without alot of mucking around.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Microsoft fix this!

I tried the 'Add to favorites' method and am getting access denied when I click on the mounted folder after the SAML token expiration. Surely MS has thought about this scenario?

As far as I know the "add to favorires" methods will work without any credential prompts (you wont get any Access Denied - thats for sure). But it should be easy to test though. Try saving a document before you sign into Office 365 first thing in the morning :-)

Dear Jasper,

Thank you for this great article. I've just added my Sharepoint Online Library to my favorites. Is the SAML token going to expire after 2 hours as well with this solution? I'm looking for a solution where I can map my Sharepoint Library and were the SAML token will never expire...

Kind regards,

Sander
