Readynas NV+ v2 cannot map network

Question

Hi All&nbsp;I've had my ReadyNas NV+2 for 6 years. I've had it working on and off over these years, but the last 2, since using Windows 10, i am able to view and access the storage, however i cannot map the drive therefore cannot add or delete files.&nbsp;Its rendered it pretty useless and i'm desperate to get have full use again.&nbsp;I did a OS reintall to get access to the system again, and despite my shares being user controlled and then switched to everyone i still cannot add or delete files.&nbsp;Please can someone take me through this supposidly easy process of mapping the drive like i use to on Windows 7.&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;Coe&nbsp;

I have just tried this solution and this doesn't work for me either&nbsp;https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/I-can-t-map-network-drive-in-Windows-10-home/m-p/1665902

On my network, using the NAS name in Windows 10 is hit-or-miss, while using the NAS IP always works. Have you tried doing the mapping using the IP address instead of the NAS name?

If that works and you still want to be able to use the name, you can add the IP address to the hosts file. Of course, both of these rely on the NAS having a fixed IP address, which is best done by reserving one in the router, not by using the NAS static IP setting.

Hi SandsharkThanks for the response. I have been using the ip using the following format\ip/CStill not working. This has only ever happened since moving to Windows 10. I can see the nas drive Via Network and view the documents but i can not add or delete to them. I use to map the network and input my username and password to edit add or delete files. Now i can only view them on the network but even that, is a stripped back version of all my data on the NAS drive.ThanksCoe

The correct syntax is \ip\C
&nbsp;
But there likely is a credentials issue here.&nbsp; &nbsp;You can only access C if Windows is using the NAS admin credentials.
&nbsp;
Try running CMD (type it in the search bar) and enter
net use * /delete /y
net use t: \nas-ip-address\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
The first command disconnects any open SMB sessions, the second attempts to mount the data volume as drive letter T.
&nbsp;
BTW, this won't work if the NAS is using the default admin password.

Thank you so much, this worked!&nbsp;Is there an explanation to why it was more difficult to map a drive this time? Does this mean i can map each share indepedently as before i had a letter for each share.&nbsp;Its not important to do so, just glad to have full access back!&nbsp;Thanks again!&nbsp;Coe&nbsp;
