Windows 10: Unable to add network drive folders to a library

I have four shared folders from the same Windows 10 Home machine, all the same permissions. Each shared folder is a separate drive volume custom letters, I:\, M:\, R:\, V:\. I am able to successfully set them up as network drives on two other Windows 10 Home machines, but when I go to add subfolders from the network drives to libraries, I am only able to add folders from one of the drives V:. Any attempts to add subfolders from the other three network drives is met with an error message saying that "This network location can't be included because it is not indexed". I have checked the netw

To Include folders using Manage Library Tools, we suggest that you perform the steps below:

• In File Explorer, select or open a library (ex: Videos) you want to include a folder or drive to.
• Click on the Library Tools Manage tab, and click on the Manage library button in the ribbon.
• Click on the Add button
• Browse to and select a folder or drive that you want to include in this library, and click on the Include folder button.
• When finished, click/tap on OK.

Keep us updated with the result.

Map a network drive folder to my video library

Apparently I misinterpreted the "allow indexing" property as it applies to network drives.

When I went into the Control Panel Indexing Options I found that not only is my network drive not in the locations to be indexed, it also can't be added to that list. As a result, when I try to add a folder from the network drive to a library, I am told
that the folder is not indexed and can't be added to the library.

If you know of a way to index a network drive folder, please let me know. Otherwise, thanks for your efforts.
