time.

2. Click Map network drive.
3. In the “Drive” list, click a drive letter.
You can choose any available letter.
4. In the “Folder” box, type the path of the folder or computer, for example, \\NAS-
IP_address\share . Or click “Browse” to find the folder or computer.
5. To connect every time you log on to your computer, select the “Reconnect at
logon” check box.
6. Click Finish.
Your computer is now connected, or mapped, to the network drive.
For each mapped drive, an icon appears in Computer and a listing appears in the left pane of
Windows Explorer.
Note: If you can't connect to a network drive or folder, make sure that you have the correct
folder permissions.
