Map NAS/Network Path as Folder in Windows 10 – Here’s How

Here’s the English translation while maintaining the HTML structure:

This command allows you to mount a NAS as a folder.

1. Run Command Prompt as administrator in Windows (Windows → Command Prompt → Right-click → «Run as administrator»).
2. Enter this command and replace the target folder and network address:

mklink /d "C:\Your\Folder" "\\Networkname\Share\"

• mklink creates a symbolic link
• /d creates the folder, which doesn’t need to exist beforehand

Windows will now create a symlink to the network address, and you can treat it like a folder.
