- Open a File Explorer (aka Windows Explorer).
- Right click on "This PC" and select Map Network Drive..
- On the resulting dialog, click the underlined link for "Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures." This pops up a new dialog "Add Network Location".
- On this new dialog, click Next.
- You'll see an option (that may be already selected; if not, select it) that says "Choose a custom network location". Click Next.
- Now, paste the "https://whatever.sharepoint.com.." and click Next.
- Now, it asks you to name your new network location. Give it a name. You'll be able to go here easily from the File Explorer from now on.
Excellent.
- Now, right click on the new folder name you'll see under This PC in File Explorer.
- You'll notice that the Target shows you the familiar URL while the "Comment" shows you the real deal : \\whatever.sharepoint.com@SSL\DavWWWRoot\whatever..
- Believe it or not, you can click here, then do Home to go to the beginning and do Shift+End to select all of it and then, in a command prompt, just do :
net use r: \\whatever.sharepoint.com@SSL\...
(you get the idea - you can just do a right-click to paste from clipboard)
Verdict - Cygwin is *the* best - easily whacks Windows Subsystem for L / Ubuntu and Git Bash as well. All you get with Git bash is some cute colouring. What you get with Cygwin/xterm that you don't get with the others :
easy font re-size with CTRL+/-. Of course, you have to put up with the annoying /cygdrive thing, but hey, pick your poison :)
