Mapping a Network Drive in Mac OS

Before you Begin
When you connect to a shared folder on a remote computer, it is known as mapping a drive or mounting a volume. To map to network drives you should first know the appropriate network path, for example smb://synologynas/shared. If you do not know the path of share you need to map to, please contact the Jaytag helpdesk for assistance.

Mapping Network Drives
To map network drives in OS X, do the following:

• On the finder menu bar, click Go > Connect To Server
• Enter a network path in the Server Address: box.
  • Example: smb://servername/sharename
• Click Connect

Note: If you are prompted to enter a password, select Registered User, and enter your user name and password. If you do not know the username or password to use, please contact the Jaytag helpdesk for assistance.

• Select the folder you would like to connect to and Click OK.
• Once connected you will see the folder will open and an Icon appears on the desktop, which is the network drive that you are connected to

You are now connected to your network drive and folder.

Connecting in future
You can also add the path to the list you accessed earlier at Go > Connect To Server by clicking the (+) button. (This will save you from writing the path to the network drive next time you connect to your network drive).
