Welcome to Apps4rent video tutorial.
Today I will show you how to save a SharePoint library directly to your local desktop.
This is my new SharePoint 2013 site.
In order to save your document library to the desktop, first go to the library that you want to save on your desktop.
For instance, I wish to save this library on to my desktop
For that, I need to go to 'Library settings'
Under Library settings, I need to click on 'Open with Explorer' option.
That will open the folder right in Windows.
Further, If I want to save and access my folder from my desktop, I need to click on this root url given here.
Once it loads up, you will be able to view all the SharePoint libraries.
You can select the library that you want to save on the local desktop.
Right click on it and click on 'Create' shortcut'.
Moving forward, you will get a windows pop up message saying that you can't create a shortcut here and whether you wish to place it on desktop.
Click on Yes and your folder will get saved on the desktop.
As you can see, I can easily browse through my SharePoint library from my desktop.
This feature is similar to what you find in popular file sharing tools such as Dropbox or Box.com.
