network drive

Remote file repository

A network drive is a storage device or disk space accessible over a computer network rather than attached directly to your machine.

It appears alongside local drives but lives on a remote server: Map the shared folder as a network drive.

Organizations use network drives for centralized file storage, backup, and collaboration among users.
