  1. “Could not find this item” error when attempting to copy to mapped network drive?


    I have a Windows 10 media server and I have an NVidia Shield with an external drive connected. I’m trying to move content from my server to the drive connected to the Shield, but get the “Could not find this item” error. I have checked security, sharing and enabled. What more should I be looking at?

    The mapped network drive could not be created...

    We have 4 networked computers, 3 Windows 10 and an Ubuntu. After one of the last updates the only way I could get on my wife's computer was to use this format: \\JIMS-PC\Users\Suzy, when I used to browse to her computer through the Map Network Drive her drive didn't show up. Now when I attempt to go to her drive using that format I get this error:

    There is no problem getting on any of the other computers. And she can get on my computer. Any ideas?

    Trouble Mapping Network Drive

    I have a WD NAS drive connected to my router and have mapped it on three of my computers. I just setup another laptop with Windows 10 and have updated it to 1809 and when I tired Mapping a network drive nothing is displayed in the browse window except the
    computer I am currently using. The drive is shown under network locations in File Explorer but not when you select map network drive and browse. I right clicked on the drive and selected properties and noted the IP address and went back into Map network drive
    but instead of selecting browse I entered the IP address but it still does not map the drive. The strange part is if I go to any of the computers that already has the network drive mapped and select Map network drive and select browse none of those computers
    show the drive either but you can select the mapped drive in the drive list in file explorer and it works just fine.

    I have read several articles both here and elsewhere and tried the suggestions but nothing works. Network discovery is turned on as is file sharing and also checked if all three boxes under SMB file sharing support in Windows features were also checked and
    they are. I have mapped several computers to several different drives over the years and anytime the drive was not listed it was always easy to go into Network Sharing Centre and find the problem but everything seems to be as it should so would appreciate
    if someone can suggest something I may have overlooked.

    Thank you

    Hi Matthias,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    I understand your concern about sharing files on network drive.

    • Select Change advanced sharing settings
    • Under Network Discovery, select Turn On network discovery

    Also refer to Microsoft article about: Create a shortcut to (map) a network drive
