    Error reconnecting network drives


    I tried several of the fixes posted including the one by Andre for Directly on July 11th 2018, to reconnect my WD My Cloud drive. This was a bit out of date but I seemed to get through yet no reconnection.

    This seems to have been a constant problem with Windows since before XP and it is still there in my latest iteration of W10. Why have Windows not sorted it with a quick reconnect solution?

    Grateful for any up-to-date help. The message I get at the end is:



    'An error occurred while reconnecting Z: to \\WDMYCLOUD\PUBLIC. Microsoft Windows Network. the network path was not found. This connection has not been restored.'Any help appreciated.

    Paul

  3. How do I reconnect my file history drive

    Hi Mattie,



    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



    This issue might occur if File History drive has been disconnected for too long.



    I suggest you to follow the steps below to reconnect the File history drive.

    Reconnect your File History drive:

    • You’ll see this message if your File History drive has been disconnected for too long. If you’re backing up to an external drive (such as a USB drive), make sure that it’s connected to your PC. If you’re backing up to a network location, go to
      Settings > Update & security > Backup and reselect the network.
    • After you’ve reconnected, wait for the next scheduled backup or start a backup manually by selecting
      Settings > Update & security > Backup > More options > Back up now.

    Please get back to us with an update on issue with reconnecting File History, we will be happy to help.



    Thank you.
