# Network Drives

The primary function of <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> is to map network drives on a user's computer and connect the drives to the user's files in Microsoft 365.

The <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> [subscription administrator](/introduction/administration.md) configures the network drives.

Network drives can be connected to various targets in Microsoft 365:

* A SharePoint Online document library
* A SharePoint Online site, or site hierarchy
* Microsoft Teams file repositories
* SharePoint Online hub sites
* OneDrive for Business
* A subfolder within a SharePoint Online document library

See [Network Drive Connection Options](/administration-guide/network-drive-connection-options.md) for more detailed information on the connection options above.

In practice, all file repositories in Microsoft 365 are SharePoint Online *document libraries*, including OneDrive for Business. SharePoint Online sites, Teams and hub sites are a means to *group* or *present* the document libraries.

A [ZeeDrive subscription](/introduction/subscription.md) supports many network drive configurations. Each network drive can be connected to a different target. A network drive consists of its UNC path E.g. `\\servername\share` name, and an optional drive letter assignment E.g. `z:\`

For additional flexibility, <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> provides virtual folders as a means to group multiple, disparate, Microsoft 365 targets under a single network drive. Instead of connecting the network drive to a target in Microsoft 365, the subscription administrator can create a hierarchy of <code class="expression">space.vars.PRODUCT\_NAME</code> virtual folders within the network drive and connect each of those virtual folders to a different target in Microsoft 365.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.zeedrive.com/introduction/network-drives.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
