    Problems with mapped drive


    I have a mapped drive in Windows 10 that works when doing anything within the drive itself, viewing, editing, deleting etc. But when I try and copy to or from the mapped drive I get and error.


    Problems with mapped drive [​IMG]


    The mapped disk is on an old legacy box running XP that we are trying to move away from. When trying to copy a file first Windows 10 prompt for admin permission, then displays the copy dialog and then the error pops up.

    The error message itself it very misleading stating the drive is unavailable when actually I can access it without any problem through Explorer.

    I've tried disabling the UAC in Windows 10 but didn't help, also un-mapped and re-mapped the drive, booted but no luck.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    :)

    Mapped Drives Issues

    To clarify .... the issue is the Windows 10 OS. It is with Windows File Explorer. The Mapped drives used to appear in File Explorer's left panel list of drives and folders. Two days ago File explorer stopped show the mapped drives. so not they don;t appear in the list of Drives and folders.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I did, it has no effect. I also check the NAS devices they support SMB 2.0. Also I have several other computers on my home network they work fine with the mapped drives and They do not have SMB 1 turned on. So it is something that happened to the computer in question.

    Suggestions for Maps/Drive

    Some more suggestions



    - When you set a destination in drive, you should be able to set an address which is existing in the contact list

    - You should be able to view all step by step navigations. right now you are not able to see complete direction steps.

    Problems with mapped drive

    Work Mapped drives not working at home.


    Hello All.

    I have a user at work that has a laptop as her main work use (docking station at work, then takes it home to work at home).
    we have a list of mapped network drives that we use here, including a personal drive.

    however when this user gets home or off the network, the personal drive seems to become inactive/go missing.

    there are no USB drives that interfere with the network drives, and i am lost looking for solutions.

    any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks.
