I am trying to map network drives to Azure file shares I uploaded. I can use the path provided and get the UAC prompt but, after putting in the credentials, I get a "network path not found" error. I can neither ping any of the public IPs listed for my vnet. I am connected through a Virtual Network Gateway using a P2S I created and all resources are located under the same vnet. Any advice on what is going on? Thanks.

It did not work. The command you provided failed to run due to positional parameters that cannot be found.
Hello,
Sorry to see that you are still experiencing some issues. I am putting all the steps together as below. The steps will work as I tested now.
Share name: \manazsg.file.core.windows.net\manaznetshare
Username, Password:
AZURE\<storage account name> and Password is your key copied in step 3

Hi,
I'm a little confused on the architecture of the solution:
You mentioned you are connecting to a VNet in Azure with a P2S connection. Is this to connect to existing virtual machines?
The Azure File Share is part of the storage offering which is a public service. This mean that the access will be done through a public IP, so there is no need for VPN.
Or did you create an endpoint within the VNet for the storage account and are trying to map the drives from your VMs located on your VNet?
For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried to connect directly to the file share from your local computer (outside of Azure) through a simple internet connection?
Thank you,
Stephane
Hello,
I found a YouTube video which explained why I could not connect. There were some ways I needed to adjust the VPN on the client so it could communicate with the VPN and private endpoint I created. Thanks anyway.
