Viewing Network Shares Using Windows File Sharing
Use this procedure to view network shares when Windows File Sharing is configured. For information, see
Configuring Windows File Sharing.
1 On a computer connected to the same switch as the cloud storage gateway, view the network neighborhood, by doing one of the following:
• In Microsoft Windows 7, click Start > Computer, then click Network in the left pane.
• In Microsoft Windows 8, open File Explorer, then click Network in the left pane.
• In Microsoft Windows 10, click Start > Settings, then click Network & Internet.
2 Double-click the cloud storage gateway icon.
A list of network shares is displayed.
Note: When accessing a network share, if your user name and password on the computer are identical to a user name and password on the cloud storage gateway, then the computer will automatically log in to the share using that user name and password. You will not be prompted to authenticate. In all other cases, a pop-up window will appear, and you must authenticate using a valid user name and password.
