Windows 10
Map a network drive to get to it from File Explorer in Windows without having to look for it or type its network address each time.
If you use CIFS storage, otherwise knows as Grouper or Bass at the Lab, the address of the new storage server is \\condo-storage.lbl.gov. If you have any network mappings which reference \\grouper.lbl.gov or \\bass.lbl.gov, you will need to replace the address with \\condo-storage.lbl.gov. For instance, \\grouper.lbl.gov\CFO becomes \\condo-storage.lbl.gov\CFO
Make sure you are connected to LBNL VPN when doing this from home.
