    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Error code 0x80070043 typically indicates a network connection or credential issue, preventing the mapping of SharePoint as a network drive. Here are some common solutions:

    Solutions:

    1. Ensure Correct URL Format: Make sure the SharePoint URL format is https://<your-domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<site-name>/Documents.
    2. Clear Credentials: Go to Control Panel > Credential Manager, remove all stored credentials related to SharePoint, and then try mapping again.
    3. Enable WebDAV: Ensure that WebDAV Redirector is enabled in Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off.
    4. Use the net use Command: Test by running the following command in Command Prompt:
    5. net use Z: https://<your-domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<site-name>/Documents
    6. Use OneDrive Sync: It's recommended to use OneDrive for Business to sync the SharePoint library to your local computer, which avoids issues with WebDAV mapping.
    7. Check Network Connection: Ensure there are no network issues between your device and the SharePoint server, and that you can access the SharePoint site via a browser.

    Try these steps, and if the issue persists, let me know the specific error message to help with further troubleshooting.
