How to Map a Network Drive

This article explains how to access the network drives and resources. One way to do this is by mapping a network drive, which allows employees to easily access shared folders and files on the network.

To map a network drive in Windows 10:

  1. Open File Explorer and click on "This PC" in the left menu.
  2. Click the "Map network drive" button in the top menu.
  3. In the "Map Network Drive" window, select a drive letter from the dropdown menu. This is the letter that will represent the network drive on your computer.
  4. In the "Folder" field, enter the path to the network drive or folder you want to map. This path can be found by asking your IT department or by looking for the drive or folder in File Explorer on another computer.
  5. Check the box next to "Reconnect at sign-in" if you want the drive to be mapped every time you log in to your computer.
  6. Click "Finish" to map the network drive.

Once the network drive is mapped, it will appear in File Explorer under "This PC" along with your local drives. You can access the files and folders on the network drive just as you would any other drive on your computer.

If you have any issues or need assistance with mapping a network drive, contact your IT department for support.
