How to map a shared SkyDrive folder as a network drive in Windows
- Open the folder in the skydrive site using the browser (it would be under Shared menu on the left). The url will look something like: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=529BD9445B66F60D&id=529BD9445B66F60D%21189#cid=529BD9445B66F60D&id=529BD9445B66F60D%21189. Now the “cid” query parameter in the URL.
- Right-click on Network (in windows explorer), then “Map Network Drive”
- Specify Folder as: https://d.docs.live.net/[cid]/[folder_name]. For the sample URL above, it would be https://d.docs.live.net/529bd9445b66f60d/CQRS (note the folder name isn’t in the URL, you need to know it beforehand, and it has to match what it’s named on the site).
- Check the “Use alternate credentials” option in the dialog:
- Click Finish. Enter your Live ID credentials when asked. Done!
