I think the most frequent question I get from me Apple users is :
How do I connect to the network share on my shiny MacOS ?

This is a reminder for them (and for myself)

Method 1
Maps a network drive that will not disappear if you reboot, it will appear on the desktop,

From the Finder, hit Command+K or click GO and Connect to Server
Enter the path to the network drive: smb://server/share and click ‘Connect’
Enter your login credentials and click “OK”

The drive is now mounted, but continue to add the drive to startup

Now enter into System Preferences, from the Apple menu
Click on Accounts
Click on Login Items
Click on the + button to add another login item
Locate the network drive you previously mounted
Click Add
Exit out of System Preferences

Your network drive will be mapped and automatically remounted when you reboot.

Method 2
Maps a network drive that will disappear if you reboot

From the Finder, hit Command+K or click GO and Connect to Server
Enter the path to the network drive: smb://server/share and click ‘Connect’
Enter your login/password and click “OK” to mount the network drive

The drive will now appear on your desktop and in the Finder window sidebar
