Adding a Path to a Network Drive

Question

Adding a Path to a Network Drive

Anonymous

I've been trying to move off of Linux and over to Windows and I've come across an issue I'm unsure of how to resolve.

So I've mapped a network drive (to Z:) which contains information needed in some programs that I run. In those programs, they specify a file path to look in that looks like "media\NewtworkDrive" - if I try and change the program to look for the info instead in, say, "Z:", that will mess up things for other people still using Linux. In Linux, I am able to mount the drive to a specified folder or path (the media folder in this case) - is there an analogue to this in Windows? Or a way to add a path to a network drive? I know how to add a path to a local drive using Disk Management, but network drives don't show up in disk management.

Hopefully my issue makes sense, let me know if clarification is required, and thank you!
