How to map network drive
To map a shared folder or a network drive in your network to your computer you can use the Map Network drive. It will be useful when you want to frequently access a network drive or a shared folder without remembering the complete path of the location.
Remember here you can map only the network computer or SharePoint folders and files not the external or internal http links
Step 1
Open your computer and on right top of the Windows Explorer you can see
"Map network drive"
tab. Check the below image
Step 2
Click the
"Map network drive"
It will open a window
"Map Network Drive"
. Here you need to specify a Drive name; you cannot use C drive and other drives that are already mapped in your computer. In "Drive:" you will see a list of drives that you can assign to a shared network drive or folder. Click the finish button to map the drive in your computer. Check the below image
Now the mapped Drive is now connected to the network drive or shared folder.
If you computer is not allow you to connect to the network drive or shared folder. The reason may be you do not have permission to access the folder or Computer might switch off.
You have one more option to create shortcuts for the shared location or FTP sites or web sites
Step 1
Open your computer and right click the mouse button (mouse button 3) anywhere in the folder and click the "Add a Network Location" to add a new shortcut
Step 2
Once you click the
"Add Network location"
the below windows will be shown, read it once and click the "Next" button to continue
Step 3
Click the
"Choose a custom network location"
to type the network location or click "Next" button to type the Network location
Step 4
In this window you can specify the location of the shared folder or web share or FTP folder either by clicking the browse button to select the network location or type the location directly in "Internet or network address:" and click the "Next" button to continue
Step 5
Now you can give or type the name for the network location to identify uniquely and then click the next button to finish the creating the shortcut for the Network location
Step 6
This is the final step and here you don't need to do anything. Here it will show the name of the network location and click "Finish" button to see the created network location shortcut in "Network Location" in your computer. Now you can open the specified network location from your computer without remembering the complete path of the location.
Once the shortcut is created it will be listed like below
