First, thank you for your youtube videos, they were a great help.

The issue I am having is how to map a folder we created to be accessed by the user at their own computer without having to login to the NAS application.

We used to have windows server 2012 that died on us, and we had a folder that was mapped on the desktop so we could access the files and upload new ones.

When I tried to setup the mapping as you shown on your video I am not able to find the map part

Can you please help?

We have a NAS F4-210
Thank you for watching our videos, I'm glad to hear they were helpful!

To map a network folder on your computer, you can follow these steps:

Open File Explorer on your Windows computer.
Click on "This PC" or "Computer" on the left-hand side of the window.
Click on "Map network drive" from the ribbon at the top of the window.
In the "Map Network Drive" window, select a drive letter from the dropdown menu.
In the "Folder" field, enter the network path of the folder you want to map. This will typically start with "\[NAS name or IP address]" followed by the folder name.
If you want to reconnect to the folder every time you log in, check the box next to "Reconnect at sign-in".
Click "Finish" to complete the mapping process.
Once you've mapped the folder, you should see it listed under "This PC" or "Computer" in File Explorer. You can access the folder by double-clicking on it, just like any other folder on your computer.

If you're having trouble finding the "Map network drive" option, you can also try right-clicking on the folder you want to map and selecting "Map network drive" from the context menu.
