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

Re: ReadyNAS link/icon

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.
