Windows 10: When I try to save a file in any app, to a network drive, the network drive does not show....

I have recently setup a network between my two home computers, both running windows 11. I can see and access files on both computers in file explorer but I cannot see or access them in any of my applications. What is the problem?

Network drive not showing in elevated apps


Hi everybody,

I am using W10 Home and I have just done a clean install and I am in the process of customizing the system to my needs.

The problem I step into is this:
I connected a new network drive from within Windows Explorer and if I open:
- Command prompt window: Drive exist and it is listed by NET USE
- Admin command prompt window: Drive DOESN'T exist and it is NOT listed by NET USE

I also use FreeCommander. When I launch it the UAC asks for my confirmation and the network drive doesn't show either.

I know it sounds stupid but I can't figure out what happens... *Confused

Thanks!

 

Office 365 Word: Mail Merge - Is it Supported for editing if the Source file is Saved in a Network Shared Drive?

Hi RaiO365,

I tested on my side step by step according to the steps you provided for me, and the result was same with you.
It may be because the way to access local files and access files on the network drive is different, so it can be saved after changing the source file locally, but not on the network drive.

My suggestion is that you can update source file first, then mail merge file.

Files Saving to Subfolder When Saving to Network Drive

Hi, I am having trouble when saving files to network drive. The files are set to save to the network drive directly, but instead are going to a subfolder in that network drive. Anyone have any idea why this is? It is imperative that the be saved to the network drive directly so that they link to the respective cases ( I work in healthcare). This only recently became an issue. No changes were made, the files just began saving to a subfolder. Any ideas would be appreciated.
