Map a network drive to the HSoft folder

Windows 10

  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.

  3. On the top menu in the Computer tab, click Map network drive.

  4. In the Map Network Drive window, click on the drop-down list to select the drive letter that you wish to use. The drive letter needs to be available to use. You might want to consider using something high-up so that the mapped network drive won’t interfere with any removable storage you add to your PC.

  5. In the Folder box, type the path of the folder or computer, or select Browse to navigate the network to the Hsoft folder.

    1. A mini network window appears, listing available storage devices on the network. These are locations flagged for shared folders.

    2. Select a network computer or server and then a shared folder.

    3. Type the username and password to access the network resource. You must have an account on the other computer, or know the username and password, to map a shared folder.

  6. To connect every time you log on to your PC, select the Reconnect at sign-in check box.

  7. Select Finish.

Note: If you can't connect to a network drive or folder, the computer you're trying to connect to may be turned off, or you may not have the correct permissions. Contact your network administrator.
