I tried to make use of option "open with explorer view" in classic view and modern view but in both areas that option is not available. I know IE is no longer supported, please help me in making available this option on edge. I saw below blog but not clear on some areas. Can you please provide exact steps to get open with explorer option in both classic and modern library?

    Hi @sns ,

    1.In classic experience, you can use open the page in IE mode to use “Open with Explorer”. For the specific steps, please refer to the following article. After enabling IE mode, you can use the "open with explorer view" option.

    2.In the modern view, if you are not clear about how to configure group policy to enable this “Open with Explorer”. It is recommended to open a new thread with the tag ms-edge about configuring group policy related to Edge for better help.
