Windows 10: Quick Access Menu/SharePoint

From what I've seen online, it's not possible to rename a folder pinned to the Quick Access list without renaming the folder itself. This is posing a challenge for me with respect to setting up SharePoint libraries as "favorites," like I had in Windows 7, because of the way my company set up SharePoint.

Our IT Department told me to add a shortcut instead of a direct link, I'm not finding any info on how to do that. I tried creating a folder, pinning it, then adding a shortcut within that folder, but it doesn't show a list of files in the library, it's literally a shortcut to the library.

My questions are:
1. Has anybody successfully pinned SharePoint libraries to Quick Access and renamed in that list them without renaming them in SharePoint?

2. If not, is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance! I'm trying to avoid a list of folders called "Shared."

Quick Access Link to Sharepoint folders

In File Explorer/Quick Access, I have a link to our Sharepoint folders. If I click on this link I receive a "You might not have permission to use this network resource." If from within the Quick Access pane, I first click on a Recently Used file located
in that Sharepoint folder and then click on the folder it opens as it should and I can navigate it.

Is Quick Access unable to apply my credentials as a security feature or is there some setting that I can change to correct this?

Thanks,

Mike

 

Right click not working and file explorer takes ages to open!

Hi alpie_ap

Had the same problem. Seems the problem was a network path to a sharepoint site in my Quick access list of File Explorer that was not accessible.

To resolve the problem, I removed all entries below Quick Access. Probably it would have been sufficient to just remove the problematic Quick access entry to the network path.

Note: If you do not see Quick Access in Explorer, to show it go to View tab, Navigation pane and select Navigation pane.
