If you want to use this way to backup a network location, you’ll need to map that network location and let it save its credentials. Need help on how to map a network location? Click here.*

If you can’t see the context (right click) menu options, please click here.

The Instant storage option will appear only for the Zoolz Business users who purchased instant storage.

* This site is just a suggestion, it does not belong to us nor are we promoting it in any way, we just like the way that they have clear screenshots with explanation on how to map network drives.
