Assign a drive to Windows 10 with your network

Learn how to pair a drive with a network folder in Windows 10. The mapped network drive will give you easy and fast access to your shared network folder.

Windows 10

If you work at , whether large or small home, you can map a folder of a disk or the entire disk, for easy access to it. You can easily do this in Windows 10 as well, using File Explorer.

The shared network folder will be mapped to a single drive, and is actually a shared folder on another computer that is connected to the same network as you. Typically, this process assigns a drive letter to this shared network folder. Helps you automatically connect to the shared network folder after each connection to Windows. This is the advantage of network drive mapping.
