How to Include a Network Drive or Folder in a Library in Windows 7 and Windows 8 How to Include a Network Drive or Folder in a Library in Windows 7 and Windows 8 How to Include a Network Drive or Folder in a Library in Windows 7 and Windows 8    • How to Include a Network Drive or Folder i...   How to Include a Network Drive or Folder in a Library in Windows 7 and Windows 8 OPTION ONE Synchronize the Network Folder or Drive WARNING: The disadvantage of this method is that it actually copies (syncs) all network files locally so that they are available offline. It actually makes networking useless since you have to bring everything on your PC. For those not interested for this approach, please use method 2. 1. Right click on the network folder or network drive you wish to include to a library (or create a new one for it) and select "Always Available Offline". A synching process will start, synchronizing your network folder. 2. Now you can add it to a library in Windows 7 or Windows 8. OPTION TWO Using mklink Command NOTE: This open is good if you don't want to make the folder available offline using OPTION ONE above because you don't want to keep the folder contents on your PC. Using this option will make searching, sorting, and filtering in the whole library slow. For best results, it's recommended to create a new library for the network folder alone. 1. Create a new folder (ex: c:\shares) on your hard drive. 2. Create a new subfolder (ex: c:\shares\pictures) in the above folder. 3. Include this folder (ex: c:\shares\pictures) to a library. 4. Delete the folder (ex: c:\shares\pictures), but do not remove it from the library. 5. Use mklink in an elevated command prompt to make a symbolic link. Name the link the same as the folder you created above. i.e - mklink /d "LINK" "TARGET" mklink /d "c:\shares\pictures" \\Server\Network Folder 6. Done. Now you have a non-indexed network path as a library. How to Include a Network Drive or Folder in a Library in Windows 7 and Windows 8
