This section will provide details on accessing folders using the shortcut method,
offering both desktop accessibility and drive mapping to your
BOSSNAS122
folders.
The process begins as follows: -
Right click on your desktop and select new, then select shortcut. This will bring up
this window
Enter the IP address of your
BOSSNAS122
and specify the folder you wish to connect to
(e.g. projects). Please note you must have permission to access the folder, which can
be setup via the
BOSSNAS122
GUI. Don’t forget to use the double backslash \\ at the
beginning.
Click next, then type in a name for your shortcut that has a meaning for you (e.g.
Projects shortcut), or accept the default name, then click finish. This will create a
desktop shortcut to the projects folder.
After the shortcut has been created, it can then be added as a mapped drive (if
required).
