Windows NAS Share

DanielM

Trying to find some software or something that will make NAS shares look like local drives. Anyone know of any such software? Backblaze blocks nas shares

Thanks in advance

Can't you install something on the NAS itself? Either way try creating a symbolic link sort of thing like: http://www.pearlmagik.com/winbolic/ as explained a few posts down in http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/109773-trick-windows-into-thinking-network-drive-is-local?.

Yep i knew about netdrive for some time, problem is its slow and takes time to sync rather that being instant.
