# Select '''This PC''' from the left pane. Then, on the '''Computer''' tab, select '''Map network drive.''' [[File:Mounting File Share pic1.png]]

# Select '''Finish.'''
# Enter credentials in the format of '''ads\''[MacID]''''' and then your McMaster Password
# Select the '''Remember my credentials''' checkbox and click '''OK'''

=== Mac OS X ===
To map network drives in OS X, do the following:

# On the finder menu bar, click '''''GO > Connect To Server'''…''
# Enter a network path in the '''Server Address: box'''.
## Example: smb://servername/sharename
# Click '''Connect'''

You can add the path to the list by clicking the (+) button. (This will save you from writing the path to the network drive next time you connect to network drives through VPN)

'''Congratulations! You are now connected to your network drive and folder.'''

# ''Note'': If you are prompted to enter a password, select Registered User, and enter your MacID and password.
# ‌Select the folder you would like to connect to and Click '''OK.'''
# Once connected you will see the folder will open and an Icon appears on the desktop, which is the network drive that you are connected to

'''Note:''' When you disconnect from VPN the network drive will disappear and you will have to follow the above steps to connect back to the desired network drive and folder.
