Important Points that You should Always Remember

You should be aware that you can only direct a specific shared folder. In case the client on PC 2 shared the C: drive with the PC, you can easily direct that particular C: disc, just make sure there are no subfolders. Additionally, you would need to right-click the company file folder. If you are unable to see the mapped network drive option, you would then need to scroll upward and look into the higher-level folders for the mapping option. If you use QuickBooks Hosting, you should check with the cloud admin about any problems or issues with the mapped drive.

In this case, you can create a new network drive mapping and access the company file on a PC that is comparable to the one you have been using for QuickBooks. You should think about opening the file from the drive that contains the information paper. Investigate the appropriate document place to open the business record that you have planned while assigning the free drive space, as well.
