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.

    Hello, I don't mean to do any sort of thread necromancy, but I'm having similar issues. I have two vnets which are peered. My users connect via P2S to the gateway, no problems there. I've set the file share to only accept connections from selected networks and I selected all networks and all subnets. However my users, once connected to the VPN, cannot access the files via a UNC path. The VMs in Azure have no proble doing so. If I open up to allow connections from any network, my users can connect to the file share over the Internet. Any idea what might be going on here? I have no private endpoints created.
