Network Shares
A network share is a folder or other resource made available to authorized users over a network.
Network Shares instructions, reference material, and troubleshooting.
Which share guide should I start with?
Choose Access a network share for an existing path, Map a network drive for a drive-letter shortcut, and Create a network share when publishing a folder. Confirm the intended server and folder before changing discovery or permissions.
Why can I reach the server but not open the folder?
Network reachability and access permission are separate checks. Record the exact path and error, then check the account being used and the permissions that apply to it. Do not make a private folder public as a shortcut around an access-denied error.
