Map a Network Drive on a Mac

Note: you will need to be connected to the UH Network or be connected through the VPN to set up, or use your mapped drive afterward.

1. From the Mac OS X Finder, hit Command+K to bring up the ‘Connect to Server’ window
2. Enter the path to the network drive you want to map, ie: smb://networkcomputer/network share and click ‘Connect’. See below for network drive address.
3. Enter your login/password and click “OK” to mount the network drive
4. The drive will now appear on your desktop and in the Finder window sidebar.

You can access the network share like any other folder at this point, so long as it’s maintained on the same network.
