Windows remote access drive

Click and open This PC. A Map Network Drive window will appear. Select a Drive letter and a Folder path. A Windows Security box will ask for login information for the network file share.

When you enable this option, users have to authenticate themselves to the network before they can connect to your PC. Allowing connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with NLA is a more secure authentication method that can help protect your computer from malicious users and software.

If you're remotely connecting to a PC on your home network from outside of that network, don't select this option. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported.
