ReadyNAS link/icon
Pardon the newbie question.
When I first set up my NAS it was there, now it has disappeared.
Let me explain.
On my PC (Windows 10) I go to File Explorer, the next window that comes up is Frequent Folders.
On that page I click This PC and many things come up however under Network Locations there once was a link/icon for my ReadyNAS.
It has disappeared, and I don’t know what I have done to make it go away.
Is there a way to reinstall this link/icon?
Thanks.
Dave
Can you still access the NAS by entering \\nas-name or \\nas-ip-address in the file explorer address bar ?
(use the real name or IP address of course).
If so, you've run into a windows discovery issue. There's no surefire fix. There are a couple of workarounds - you can create shortcuts on the desktop, or you can add shares as "network locations" in file explorer.
