Attention

There are two problems with configuring network mapped drives in this way:

  1. WPS cannot open files
  2. File size limit of 50M, files over 50M cannot be opened

To solve the above problems, please use RaiDrive to configure network mapped drives. For specific methods, please refer to the next article.

By configuring a network mapped drive, the system allows you to directly open system folders on the local Windows system for operations.

Modify System Settings

  1. Run the bat file

Right-click the bat file and select Run as Administrator. During the running process, you need to enter the system username and password.

Open Network Mapped Drive

After executing the bat file, a new network location will appear in the local My Computer. Double-click to open it.

Through the network mapped drive, you can directly perform batch add/delete/query/modify operations on data in the system.

Attention

After opening the network mapped drive, you will see site ID folders. The access path for files in each site is: site ID/documentLibrary/
Note: Please do not change folders and files at the same level or parent level of the documentLibrary folder (including renaming, deleting, etc.).

Common Issues

1. No new network location appears in local My Computer after executing the patch file

Some computers have been found where no new network location appears in local My Computer after executing the patch file.

Solution:

  1. Restart the computer. Generally, the problem can be solved by restarting the computer;

  2. If the problem cannot be solved by restarting the computer, you need to create a network mapped drive manually. The steps are as follows:

  3. Open My Computer

  4. Click "Map network drive" above

  1. Fill in network drive information
  1. Fill in user account and password, check "Remember my credentials"
  1. A remote directory will pop up. Here is a list of all site ID folders. The specific data is under "documentLibrary" in the site ID folder
  1. At this time, check the local My Computer again to see the network mapped drive

2. After restarting the computer, double-clicking the mapped drive cannot connect successfully

It is known that in a domain environment, after executing the patch file, by default the domain user is used for login next time, causing login failure.

Solution:

  1. Right-click the network mapped drive and select "Disconnect";
  2. Refer to the solution of the previous problem to manually configure the mapped drive.

Attention

In the pop-up box for filling in the account and password in step 4, do not select the default domain account. Select to use another account, and then enter the system username and password.
