Windows 10: Map a Network Share

Map a network drive to get to it from File Explorer in Windows without having to look for it or type its network address each time.

1. Open File Explorer from the taskbar or the Start  menu, or press the Windows logo key  + E.

2. Select This PC from the left pane. Then, on the Computer tab, select Map network drive. 

3. In the Drive list, select a drive letter or confirm available drive letter from your system administrator.

4. In the Folder box, type the path of the folder or computer, or select Browse to find the folder or computer. To connect every time you log on to your PC, select the Reconnect at sign-in check box.

If you are using a local user account, and the network share is on a server that requires a separate set of credentials, make sure to tick the Connect Using Different Credentials and you'll be prompted for alternative logon details.

5. Select Finish.
