KONNEKT for Windows

KONNEKT — Cloud files inside File Explorer

KONNEKT is a free Windows utility that brings Microsoft cloud storage into the native File Explorer experience. By connecting SharePoint Online, OneDrive and Microsoft Teams libraries to your desktop, it lets you open and work on cloud-hosted files without switching apps, speeding up everyday tasks and simplifying file access.

What it can do for users

• Real-time co-authoring support so multiple people can edit documents simultaneously.
• Automatic drive mapping so cloud locations appear like local drives in File Explorer.
• Centralized admin controls via Group Policy and MDM for easier rollout and policy enforcement.

Security, performance and storage behavior

• Runs entirely online so files don’t require local disk space, preserving endpoint storage.
• Built on the native SharePoint Online APIs to deliver efficient, secure access and predictable performance.
• Supports common virtual desktop scenarios — Remote Desktop Services, Citrix, and Azure Virtual Desktop.

Deployment considerations for IT teams

KONNEKT can be managed and deployed with enterprise tools IT teams already use. Administrators can apply policies and configuration through Group Policy Objects or Mobile Device Management systems to control mapping, permissions, and user experience. The tool’s compatibility with VDI and remote session environments helps when deploying in hosted desktop infrastructures.
