Have set up a SMB shared folder on a Mac over a LAN. So my Mac is the host

I want to simply enable this shared folder to always auto mount when I reboot -login on my Windows machine.

I assume this means using 'Map Network Drive'.

Should be simple enough however when I browse to a folder from Map Network Drive all I see is Network, not my shared folder. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

  • In my experience it means the drive isn't accessible to your Windows user.

  • Please try to insert \\IP of SMB server\shared folder or insert \\hostname of SMB server\shared folder in Folder blank.

I discovered through trial and error: you need to add full path. Shared drive and folder

//<path to share drive>/<path to shared folder>
