Mapping Etna Fileshare as a Network Drive
If you find yourself accessing Etna | Scholarship or Etna | Classes frequently, it is convenient to map your Etna directory as a lettered or named drive.
For Windows 7
- Select the Windows Button (generally the lower left hand corner of the screen).
- Select “Computer”. A new “Computer” dialog window should pop up.
- Select “Map Network Drive” from the “Computer” dialog window.
- On the “Map Network Drive” dialog box, select a drive letter for your mapped drive. The default “Z” is usually fine.
- In the “Folder” box, enter the netapp path to your Etna Scholarship or Classes directory (e.g. \\netapp.bcis.bates.edu\etna\Scholarship\[Firstname Lastname]).
- On the “Map Network Drive” window, the “Finish” button should now be active. Select “Finish”.
- Your newly mapped network drive should now be an option when you select “Computer” from the Windows button. If desired, you can create a shortcut for this mapped drive on your desktop.
For Windows 10
- Open File Explorer from the taskbar or the Start menu, or press the Windows logo key + E.
- Select This PC from the left pane. Then, on the Computer tab, select Map network drive.
- In the Drive list, select a drive letter. (Any available letter will do.)
- In the Folder box, enter the netapp path to your Etna Scholarship or Classes directory (e.g. \\netapp.bcis.bates.edu\etna\Scholarship\[Firstname Lastname]). To connect every time you log on to your PC, select the Reconnect at sign-in check box.
