From here you can open any of the shared drives you have permission to access!

For more on requesting permission, see our KB https://uncakb.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/135888901/Request+access+to+a+shared+drive


If you run into any trouble, make sure you are utilizing “This PC”. If you click on Network instead you will see the error below. Note, Network Discovery is turned off for security reasons.
