What does it mean to map a network drive

What is a mapped network drive? When we use computers, we may come into contact with or have seen the mapping of network drives. In fact, this is to map the relevant directories on the network to our local disk, which is similar to folder sharing. Let's take a look at the specific meaning of mapping network drives.

1. Mapping a network drive means mapping a directory in the LAN to a local drive letter, that is, mapping the shared folder of other machines on the network to a disk on your own machine, which can improve access time.

2. Mapping network drive is a method to realize disk sharing

Specifically, I use the LAN to save my own data on another computer, or to virtualize the files in another computer to my own machine. After mapping the remote shared resources to the local, I have an additional drive letter in my computer, just like my own computer has an additional disk, which is very convenient for operation.
