    Hi Steve,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are unable to see shared folders in File Explorer. I’ll certainly assist you with this.



    I would suggest you to check if Network discovery is on or not. To do this, refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Go to Control Panel > Click on
      Network and Internet >
      Click on Network and Sharing Center.

    2. Click on Change advance sharing settings
      on the left pane.
    3. Select Turn on network discovery
      under Private and Guest network.
    4. Click on Save changes.


    You may also want to refer the article on
    Map a network drive
    .



    Let us know how it goes.
