VBA script that maps https to \\ paths for downloads - vba

Question

I wrote a script to download files using VBA. The VBA script has to download items that start with https://collaboration.company.corp/collrooms/specificfolder or with \collaboration.company.corp#SSL\DavWWWRoot\collrooms\specificfolder
The specific folders are the same.
If I allow the script to select the specific mapping, it will only recognize it if I use the definition \collaboration.company.corp#SSL\DavWWWRoot\collrooms\specificfolder
How can I create a mapping in VBA to tell Excel that https://collaboration.company.corp/collrooms/specificfolder and \collaboration.company.corp#SSL\DavWWWRoot\collrooms\specificfolder is the same and that the first specification is also valid?
My code:
Option Explicit
Sub FolderSelection()
'Shows the folder picker dialog in order the user to select the folder
'in which the downloaded files will be saved.
Dim FoldersPath As String
'Show the folder picker dialog.
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Title = "Select a folder to save your files..."
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
Sheets("Main").Range("B4") = "-"
MsgBox "You did't select a folder!", vbExclamation, "Canceled"
Exit Sub
Else
FoldersPath = .SelectedItems(1)
End If
End With
'Pass the folder's path to the cell. HERE I AM MISSING THE MAPPING. It will show files starting with https if selected and not transfer it to the other structure.
Sheets("Main").Range("B4") = FoldersPath
End Sub
Sub Clear()
'Clears the URLs, the result column and the folder's path.
Dim LastRow As Long
'Find the last row.
With Sheets("Main")
.Activate
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
End With
'Clear the ranges.
If LastRow > 7 Then
With Sheets("Main")
.Range("C8:D" & LastRow).ClearContents
.Range("B4:D4").ClearContents
.Range("B4").Select
End With
End If
End Sub
and the other part of the download macro is
'Check if the folder exists. I did not check whether it will also download with the https structure?
DownloadFolder = sh.Range("B4")
On Error Resume Next
If Dir(DownloadFolder, vbDirectory) = vbNullString Then
MsgBox "The path is incorrect!", vbCritical, "Folder's Path Error"
sh.Range("B4").Select
Exit Sub
End If
On Error GoTo 0
I tried with a script that I found on Stackoverflow but it does not work
I created an additional module:
Sub test()
Dim dm As New DriveMapper
Dim sharepointFolder As Scripting.Folder
Set sharepointFolder = dm.MapDrive("https://collaboration.company.corp/collrooms/")
' unsure whether I have to add something here and whether this will work with https
Debug.Print sharepointFolder.Path
End Sub
and added the following WebDAV mapping as a new CLASS
Option Explicit
Private oMappedDrive As Scripting.Drive
Private oFSO As New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Private oNetwork As New WshNetwork
Private Sub Class_Terminate()
UnmapDrive
End Sub
Public Function MapDrive(NetworkPath As String) As Scripting.Folder
Dim DriveLetter As String, i As Integer
UnmapDrive
For i = Asc("Z") To Asc("A") Step -1
DriveLetter = Chr(i)
If Not oFSO.DriveExists(DriveLetter) Then
oNetwork.MapNetworkDrive DriveLetter & ":", NetworkPath
Set oMappedDrive = oFSO.GetDrive(DriveLetter)
Set MapDrive = oMappedDrive.RootFolder
Exit For
End If
Next i
End Function
Private Sub UnmapDrive()
If Not oMappedDrive Is Nothing Then
If oMappedDrive.IsReady Then
oNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive oMappedDrive.DriveLetter & ":"
End If
Set oMappedDrive = Nothing
End If
End Sub
The question is also whether removing the dispose method "Class_Terminate" which unmaps the drive would help? When the class goes out of scope then the drive get's unmapped. And how I could put it all together.
