The primary function of Zee Drive is to map network drives on a user's computer and connect the drives to the user's files in Microsoft 365.
The Zee Drive subscription administrator configures the network drives.
Network drives can be connected to various targets in Microsoft 365:
A SharePoint Online document library
A SharePoint Online site, or site hierarchy
Microsoft Teams file repositories
SharePoint Online hub sites
OneDrive for Business
A subfolder within a SharePoint Online document library
In practice, all file repositories in Microsoft 365 are SharePoint Online document libraries, including OneDrive for Business. SharePoint Online sites, Teams and hub sites are a means to group or present the document libraries.
A Zee Drive subscription supports many network drive configurations. Each network drive can be connected to a different target. A network drive consists of its UNC path E.g. \\servername\share
name, and an option drive letter assignment E.g. z:\
For additional flexibility, Zee Drive provides virtual folders as a means to group multiple, disparate, Microsoft 365 targets under a single network drive. Instead of connecting the network drive to a target in Microsoft 365, the subscription administrator can create a hierarchy of Zee Drive virtual folders within the network drive and connect each of those virtual folders to a different target in Microsoft 365.
