    index Documents on NAS


    The folder 'My Documents' is on my Nas-server.
    How can I index this folder.

    In windows 7 I used Library Tool, in my opinion it is not working on W10

    How to add NAS shared folders to Win10 Library

    Thanks for the reply, but the NAS already appears in Network places.

    The question is How to add NAS folders (pictures, music, documents) to a Win10
    Library.

    The Library reports that it cannot add files because they are not indexed.

    Thank you.

    If you go to the folder on the NAS, right-click and choose "Include in library", it should become indexed (anything in libraries are indexed by default if they can be). Although the indexing restrictions from Windows Vista/7 still apply.
