Let Us Discover

Network drive or Mapped drive is a drive, Network Attached Storage (NAS), or share
on another computer or server on the same network (e.g., LAN). For example, when using a
corporate network, you may have access to company or customer information on a network
drive. The network drive is accessed similar to a local disk drive, but the data is transferred
from a remote computer to your computer over a network connection.

Local drive is a drive (internal or external) that is connected to your computer.

Although these drives could be shared, by default, they're only accessible to the user of the
computer. Below is a good example of a local drive path of the Windows directory on the C:
drive (primary hard drive).

What are the advantages of a network drive?

Below is a list of the reasons why it is better to use a network drive instead of a local drive.
 A network drive and its files can be shared with many people.
 Permissions can specify the people you want to be able to view or edit the files.
 Network drives are a central storage location that makes them easier to backup and
mirror.

What are the disadvantages of a network drive?

While there are more advantages to network drives than disadvantages, there are still a few
that are listed below.
 Network drives require a network. If your network goes down, all files on the network
drive are inaccessible.
 Being a central location with multiple users increases the possibility of accidental
deletion, modification, hacking, or infection.
 Anyone with access to the drive could copy or move all its data to an alternate
location.
