Hi @Iniobong Nkanga ,

Thank you for posting in this community.

To view SharePoint files in File Explorer, we recommend first making the SharePoint files available in the folders on your device.  To do so, whether you're using Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or another browser, you can use either Add shortcut to My files or Sync. In comparison to View in File Explorer command method__,__ these two methods are faster and more reliable for putting SharePoint files into folders on your device. You can then manage your synced files in File Explorer.

Add shortcut to My files (adding OneDrive shortcuts) allows content to be accessed on all devices, whereas Sync is related to a specific device. Additionally, (OneDrive) shortcuts offer improved performance versus using the sync button. Therefore, we recommend __Add shortcut to My files (OneDrive)__as the most versatile option when available.
