Microsoft uses a new type of file system called DrvFs behind the scenes to allow the Linux subsystem to talk to native Windows directories. So you end up mounting a network drive just like you would mount any other media normally.
 
−
 
 
−
Let's say you've got a server on your network usually accessible as \\MyNetworkDrive. To mount it into your WSL, you can do the following:
 
−
 
 
−
sudo mkdir /mnt/mynetworkdrive
 
−
sudo mount -t drvfs '\\MyNetworkDrive' /mnt/mynetworkdrive
 
−
 
−
Note: Use single quotes to avoid awkwardness around the backslashes in the network drive name.
 
−
 
 
−
If you have mapped the network drive to a drive letter S: on your Windows system already:
 
−
 
−
sudo mkdir /mnt/mynetworkdrive
 
−
sudo mount -t drvfs S: /mnt/mynetworkdrive
 
−
 
 
−
If you ever want to unmount it:
 
−
 
 
−
sudo umount /mnt/mynetworkdrive
 
−
