Mapping Drives (Mac)

Follow these instruction to map a network drive on an iMac (not Macbooks).

Click on the Go menu and select Connect to Server, (or press Command+K).

The Connect to Server window will open. Type the location (example: smb://winfscommon/common) in the Server Address area. Click Connect.

Note: You can add regularly visited file share locations as a favorite by clicking the add (+) button to the right of the Server Address area. The location will then save under Favorite Servers.

You will see the Connecting to Server window open.

Once you’re connected, your Network Drive will be found in the Finder window under Shared.

To have your Network Drive connect automatically connect when you login, go to System Preferences.

Note: You must have already mapped to your Network Drive before doing this.

Click on Users & Groups under System.

In the Users & Groups window, click on Login Items right above Change Password.

Click on the add (+) button.

Select your drives from the list and click Add.

They will now appear in the automatic login list.
