# Adding West Quay Offices Network Drive to Windows Computer

##### Notice

This option is only valid if you purchased a [backup](https://westquayoffices.com/backup-solutions/) or team folder add-on product.

After receiving an email with your username and password to access the NAS network drive from us, you will need to add those credentials to Windows so you can access it all the time as a network drive.

Credential Manager lets you view and delete your saved credentials for signing in to websites, connected applications, and networks.

1. To open Credential Manager, type  credential manager in the search box on the taskbar and select the **Credential Manager Control panel**.
2. Select **Windows Credentials** and click **Add a Windows Credential**.

| Server | **NAS** |
| --- | --- |
| User name | **NAS\\YourUsername** |
| Password | **YourPassword** |

##### Important

It is important to add **"NAS\\"** before your username, or else this won't work out.

## Accessing Network Drive

1. Open "**My Computer**" in Finder.
2. Click on **Network**, and you will see **NAS**. Click on it.
3. There are a few folders in there, but **Home** is your personal folder.
4. You can create a new folder inside for backups, or you can use the root folder if you will be using it only for backups.

## How to Map Network Drive

If you don't want your Home network folder to appear like a drive on your computer, right-click on the Home folder and choose Map as Drive.

- Select an unused **drive letter** you want to assign to the network drive.
- **Browse** to and select, or type in the path of the shared network folder. If typing the network path, you must start with “\\\\” followed by the name of the computer that is sharing the folder you want to map, followed by “\\” and the name of the shared network folder.
- Check or uncheck to automatically **reconnect at sign-in** to the mapped network drive.
