Mapping a network drive to SkyVault (Windows users)

You can map a network drive to SkyVault so that you always have easy access to your files.

Make sure that you have an internet connection and the SkyVault URL. These instructions also require HTTPS to be set up by your administrator.

Note: There are various ways to map a network drive, which may vary slightly depending on which version of Windows you're using.

In Windows Explorer, select Map network drive using your preferred method.
Enter the SkyVault address as the folder or target.
There are two ways to enter this depending on if you're connecting to SkyVault server or SkyVault Cloud; check with your SkyVault administrator if you need more information.
SkyVault server
To connect with SkyVault the URL needs to end in "/alfresco/aos", so if your SkyVault address is

https://mycompany.com

then you'd enter

https://mycompany.com/alfresco/aos/

SkyVault Cloud

To connect with SkyVault you need to add "sp" to the URL, so if your SkyVault address is

https://my.alfresco.com/mycompany.com/sitename/

then you'd enter

https://sp.alfresco.com/mycompany.com/sitename/

For SkyVault Cloud you always need to enter a site name. For both SkyVault server and SkyVault Cloud you can enter URLs that are specific to a site, folder, or file, for example, https://mycompany.com/alfresco/aos/Sites/sitename/documentLibrary/foldername/filename for SkyVault server and https://sp.alfresco.com/mycompany.com/sitename/foldername/filename for SkyVault Cloud.
When prompted enter your SkyVault user name and password and click Finish.

You can now browse SkyVault and work with files through Windows Explorer without the need to access SkyVault through Chrome, Firefox, or another web browser. You can also create new files and save them to SkyVault through the mapped network drive.
