Map network drive Windows 10 to Mac

Computers have a built in way of connecting to remote servers, allowing you to access and work with your files on that server. You'll use this connection and type in the address, or path, of the server you're trying to connect to (much like having an actual
address, 123 Main Street, the computer needs to know where to go). When connecting to a network drive on a Mac, you'll start all your paths with smb, which tells your Mac that it will be connecting to a remote server and is the protocol that allows your computer to access files over a network. You should have the path of your server. It will look something like this: smb://titan.tccs.tufts.edu/xxxxxxxx Example Q Drive paths: If you are unsure of what either path should be, contact the TTS
Service Desk at or call (617) 627-3376. Note: The use of smb://titan/xxxx will work when physically located on the Tufts network, but you must use the fully qualified domain name of smb://titan.tccs.tufts.edu/xxxxxxxx when connecting from a remote location with Tufts VPN remote connection software. Therefore, the best practice is to always use smb://titan.tccs.tufts.edu when
mapping your Tufts network drives on a Mac computer, even if you are on the Tufts network.
You can map it from the command line (cmd.exe or PowerShell) using This will use your Mac login credentials to mount the share as drive letter Just for good measure, I will also add that you can do this the exact same way from the Bash shell on Windows if you are using Cygwin as long as you make sure to escape all of the backslashes. So if using Cygwin, it would actually be like this: Otherwise, if you want to go the GUI route, simply go to Computer > Map Network Drive > Enter appropriate info ( You can also use Start > Run (or Here are some ways to make it easy to reconnect to shared computers and servers you frequently use:
