The searching that comes with the metadata.The metadata to sort, filter, and group files.
However, what you lose is exactly what you're trying to avoid, all the benefits of the HTML interface: If you are looking for the co-authoring, or some of the file restore capabilities, you definitely get some of those over a traditional file share. But then it's exactly that, a really glorified (and ussually more expensive) file share. OneDrive for Business sync will give them the same read/write power they had in the UNC file structure.
I use it, I recommend people use it, it should definitely be used instead of a UNC path, but it shouldn't be used as a replacement for a file share/UNC path as the ONLY way for users to access their files in SharePoint/OneDrive. There is definitely a place for the OneDrive sync client. However, I'll try to hit a few highlights.īefore that though, don't get me wrong as you read through this. Again though, this should be the very rare exception, not a normal operation you perform for all your going to try to put a blog post together to try to cover this in more details as there is a little more to the whole conversation than just "what features are lost". In that case, other have provided methods. I do get there are circumstances where you may need to map a network drive, although in my experience they are VERY rare. Don't just go sync everything locally b/c you don't want to use the SharePoint interface. But still, even with this, be selective in what you sync. You also get the files on demand functionality using the sync client. This still gets you some of the benefits of SharePoint (you still don't get everything) and is more reliable in my experience. IF you do need files accessed in a mapped network drive sort of way, leverage the OneDrive sync client to take them offline and sync them locally. If you are going to put all your file in SharePoint, use SharePoint like it was meant to be used and have the browser/SharePoint interface be your primary method of accessing and working with the files. If you are going to just put all your files in SharePoint and then map a network drive, use a network file share. Not to mention it undermines all the benefits of using SharePoint for your file management.
I've seen plenty of weird issues/error when doing this. While there are some options for mapping SharePoint has a file share I would caution against it.
