In this tutorial I show how to create a link between NAS and a Windows computer and show up as a folder. mklink is great for creating quick and effective symbolic links in a Windows computer or server and remote device.

In the example below mklink command will create a folder named 'Network' to local drive C and link all Folders/Files from remote share 'videos' on remote NAS with IP 199.168.71.170

Command:
mklink /d "Destination" "Source"

Example command:
mklink /d "C:\Network" "\\192.168.1.170\videos"
