Connect to a Network Drive

Note that you must be on the campus network (eduroam or ethernet) in order to map a network drive directly. If you are not, you'll need to connect via VMWare Horizon first.

Connect to a network drive on PC

Use the windows search bar in the lower left to search for "This PC." Right click the "This PC" app in the search results and choose "map network drive"

Choose any drive letter you wish that is empty, then type the file path in to the "Folder" field (expand to see more details). Make sure the "reconnect at sign-in" box is checked and then click "Finish"

Filepaths (note that the direction of the slashes is important)

Employee Home (H) drive \\fileserver1\username
Employee Department (I) drive \\fileserver1\department
Temporary Storage \\fileserver1\temp

Now that the drive is mapped, open File Explorer (folder icon) and look under This PC to access the drive
