I map it as a drive with a drive letter X in this example. I can now use X:\Tmp to read, write and share in remote desktop sessions.On a PC I received BSOD and had to rebuild disk with Lenovo image. I am up and running except for X:\Tmp. D:\Tmp is working as always and the mapped version X:\Tmp looks good.In D:\Tmp I create Testfile.txt. In X:\Tmp I can see and open the file - but I can't save edits or create new files. I get this
