To map a shared folder or a network drive with
our network to our computer, we use the Map Network drive. When we use locally
connected computers in our home network we always prefer to share our files with
other computer devices for eliminating the requirement of manually copying the
file to external storage media and after that transfer them to other computers.
It will be helpful when we want to quickly access a network drive or a shared
folder without remembering the complete path of the location.
In Windows 8 if you want to map any remotely shared folder as a network drive to
your local computer, you have to follow certain steps shown below:
