Windows 10: Accessing files on a network storage device

I can´t access files from my network storage from one of my surface book win 10 pro though I can from my older surface win 10 by right click on the device and choosing set public connection. How can I do the same with Win Pro?Thx for any help

Network storage device

Anyone have any knowledge about network storage devices like this one here?

I'd really like to setup a home server, but I don't have the funds for it.

The wife just wants something to backup her info for her MacBook Pro. I've been reading up on reviews for these types of things and most are kind of....not that great. I don't want to jump into something like this and find out it's a POS or a waste of money.

So any advice or recommendations on a network storage device would be great.

 

Unable to access network storage

Hi Pravin,

Network permission is one of the possible reasons why you can't access a drive within a network. To better assist you, we the answers to the following questions:

• Are you working with computers connected to a domain?
• Did you make any changes on your computer prior to the issue?

In the meantime, we suggest following the steps below to troubleshoot Shared Folders in Windows 10:

• On the Cortana search box, type Troubleshoot
  and select the first result.
• Scroll down and click on Shared Folders.
• Click the Run the troubleshooter button.

We are looking forward to your response.

 

Network Devices Not Showing in File Explorer

Windows 10. Have Desktop 1, Laptop 1, Desktop 2 and D-Link Network Storage in Home Network. Router/Modem is AT&T/DirecTV for telephone, TV and Internet. Internet works fine. Do not think any problem with Router/Modem. Network devices do not show in File
Explorer, consistently, notwithstanding that they are online and can be accessed, albeit in a sort of a workaround. I have had this problem for some time. Desktop 1 is primary computer. Network storage is always powered on. Laptop 1 and Desktop 2 are sometimes
on, sometimes off. When Desktop 1 is powered on, hit or miss as to what other network devices, even though powered on, are listed in "Network" in File Explorer. Sometimes Laptop 1 will be listed on Desktop 1 File Explorer. But no others. Not even Desktop 1
is itself listed in Network. At same time, I will then move to Laptop 1, and look at Network in File Explorer on it. Desktop 1 is not listed. Nor is Laptop 1 itself listed. As a workaround, at a time when a device, or more than 1 device, listed, I placed a
shortcut to the device on my desktop. Thus, if device not listed in Network, I click the shortcut and I can access that device to, e.g., copy a file. So, the device is on line. This is true for all the devices. However, when another program needs to access
a device on the network, such as using Acronis Backup/Restore from Desktop 1 to access the Network Storage, it cannot do so because the NAS "cannot be found." This is true even though I know it is actually on-line by use of the shortcut in accessing it directly.
Sometimes, purely by happenstance, I boot one or the other of the computers, and some, or all, of the network devices will show in File Explorer > Network; more often, none, or only 1, will show. I have tried unplugging / replugging power, on all devices.
I have booted only one, then another one, then another one, all in various order. I have "studied" Control Panel > Network till I'm blue in the face and can't seem to find any solution to this anomaly. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas out there?
