To map a network drive on Windows 10, follow these steps:
- Open File Explorer: Click on the File Explorer icon on the taskbar or press the Windows key + E.
- Click on “This PC”: In the left sidebar of File Explorer, click on “This PC.”
- Click on “Map network drive”: In the “Computer” tab at the top of the File Explorer window, click on “Map network drive.”
- Choose a drive letter: In the “Map Network Drive” window that appears, choose a drive letter for your network drive.
- Enter the network location: In the “Folder” field, enter the network location of the shared folder you want to map. You can also click on the “Browse” button to search for the shared folder on the network.
- Choose the option to reconnect at sign-in: If you want the network drive to be mapped every time you sign in to Windows, check the box next to “Reconnect at sign-in.”
- Click on “Finish”: Once you have entered all the necessary information, click on the “Finish” button to map the network drive.
- Enter credentials if necessary: If the shared folder requires authentication, enter your username and password to access the shared folder.
Once you have completed these steps, the network drive will be mapped and will appear in File Explorer under “This PC.” You can access the shared files and folders just like you would any other file on your computer.
