In Mint, I've created shortcuts to the folders I use in the 'Files' application, but when browsing the web in Chrome I cannot 'see' these shortcuts and, say, attach a file to an email in Gmail from the NAS. In Windows, once I mapped the network drive I was able to access it from any program. Connecting to it now that I'm running Mint is confusing to me, however. It is mapped as Z: on the 2 Windows 7 PCs, as I did on my laptop when it ran Vista. I have a WD MyBook Live NAS connected to the router as our family's primary file storage.

I'm new to Linux, running Mint 15 Cinnamon on my older HP laptop. So if you’re looking to map a folder on your Mac to your Windows PC, the Mac Finder > Go > Connect to Server… is the way to do it.This might be better for the newbie forum, but it's a specific networking question. Any mouse or keyboard functions that I want to test, I would then sit in front of the Windows 10 machine to do that. You do need the free version of VNC Server running on the Windows 10 machine and the VNC viewer software on your iMac. Then, using VNC Viewer on my iMac, I can test the program remotely on the Windows 10 machine as needed. With my Finder window open to the share folder, I can copy and paste from my Windows 7 VM directly to the shared folder on the Windows 10 machine.
