How to Map a Network Drive in Windows 11

Map a Network Drive (Windows 11)

The following are instructions for mapping to a network drive on a Windows 11 PC.

Prerequisites:

·       You must have been granted access to any drives you are trying to connect to.

·       If you are connecting from off campus, you must be connected to VPN.

System Requirements:

·       Operating System: Windows 11

Connection:

1.     Open the “File Explorer”. The easiest way to do this is by opening the Windows menu with the Windows key and searching for it. You can also click the file explorer icon

2.     Right Click on the “This PC” tab in the top left corner of the window and then select “Map network drive” in the menu that appears.

3.     Select the letter you would like to associate with the drive. Do NOT select X, Y or Z, as this may cause issues when you return to campus. Enter the address of the shared drive in the “Folder” field. Below is the most common network drive that you may need:
