Limitations of SharePoint 2013 (iv) Manipulating document libraries with Windows Explorer

Although SharePoint is b/s, it can be accessed in a browser, but many people prefer to use Windows Explorer to interact with SharePoint.

Using Windows Explorer, you can add and remove replication names, and so on, just as you do with local folders and files.

Select a document library and click Open With Explorer on the Ribbon:

This opens in Windows Explorer.

Open a local folder and create a new folder and file. The folder ends with. files. Then drag folders and files to the SharePoint folder.

This way, the folders and files are uploaded to SharePoint.

However, by accessing this document library from the page, you find that the. Files End folder is not visible. Normal files can be seen.

Why is it? Because SharePoint treats the folder at the end of. Files as a system file, it is not displayed by default.

Remember what you said on the previous blog, when you create a new. Files folder on a SharePoint page, SharePoint automatically adds an underscore behind it.

This is a different place to use with SharePoint pages and access Windows Explorer.
