Add a SharePoint site to My Network Places

When transferring a lot of files to and from SharePoint libraries I found it quite useful to add my site to My Network Places.  This allows me to easily open the site in Windows Explorer then drag and drop files straight in.

To do this, follow these simple steps:

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Choose ‘My Network Places’ from the ‘Other Places’ list
3. Click on ‘Add a Network Place’
4. When the wizard starts click Next, then select ‘Choose another network location’ and click next again
5. Enter the path to your SharePoint library, ie. ‘http://www.mysite.com/Shared Documents’
6. Name the new Network Place, click Next and then Finish
