    add a network location windows 10

    Hi Erich,

    Adding a network place in Windows allows you to access FTP, Windows file shares, and some HTTP servers directly in My Network Places, without having to use an FTP client.
    To assist you better, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Are you getting any error messages when you tried adding a network location?
    • Are you trying to add a network location or map a network drive?

    Meanwhile, if you're adding a network location, we suggest that you follow these steps below about adding a network location:

    • Open This PC in File Explorer, click on the Computer tab, click on the
      Add a network location button in the ribbon.
    • Click on Next in the Add Network Location wizard.
    • Click on Choose a custom network location, and click on
      Next
      .
    • Type the address of the website, FTP site, or network location you want to add, and click on
      Next.
    • If you are allowed to log on anonymously to this network location, click on
      Next
      .
    • Type a name you want for this network location in This PC, and click on
      Next
      .
    • If you are not allowed to log on anonymously to this network location, then uncheck the
      Log on anonymously box, enter the user name for the network location, and click on
      Next.
    • Click on Finish.
    • If you could not log on anonymously to this network location, you will see a
      Log On As
      dialog prompting you to enter the user name and password for this network location. Check the
      Save password box if you do not want to be required to type the user name and password every time you access this network location. Click on
      Log On when finished.
    • The network location will now open.

    If you're mapping a network, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article
    on how to map a network drive.

    Let us know if you need additional help.

  3. Cannot Backup to Network Location - Win10 Creator

    Hi,

    There are several factors that can prevent you from creating a backup in a network location, This could be caused by the shared locations permissions or the file path designated is incomplete. We need a few more details so we can provide the next steps.
    Kindly answer the questions below:

    • What is the version and build of Windows 10 Creators Update that you have currently installed in your computer?
    • For the prompt asking you to enter network credentials, does the other computer have a local login?

    We look forward to your response to our queries.
