Mapping a network drive is a way to connect to a shared network folder, such as a share on a ReadyNAS storage system. This article explains how to map a network drive using Mac OS X. For Windows instructions, see How do I map a network drive in Windows?

To map a network drive in Mac OS X:

  1. Under the Go menu, open the Connect to Server utility.
  2. Enter the path to the folder (example: smb://Hostname/Sharename).
    A new icon displays on your desktop and in your Finder sidebar. That is your network drive.
  3. Double-click the icon to open and use the drive.
    You can also access the folder from the Finder.
