I have a very specific case here where a piece of software needs to access files on the network but will only take files coming from local drives, not the network or mapped network drives. It will also ignore symbolic links so the "mklink" solution will not work in this case, but that does not create a local drive anyway, simply a folder/shortcut.
How can I take a mapped network drive and make it appear as a local, physical drive?
The program appears to simply be a GUI to replace the command prompt and run the "subst" command, the other answer tells me how to do this in a command line. I will try that solution and see if it works, unfortunately the network storage device is a WD MyCloud device and has a web interface and no OS. The software is software to backup my computer to that device and will only backup contents in local drives, however I would like to backup a computer running an unsupported (from WD MyCloud) OS to the device, so I need to map that computer to appear as a local drive. – Keagan Dalley – 2017-06-29T16:35:56.857
