If your company uses NAS (Network Attached Storage) or shared network drives, you can connect those folders to Wissly as well.

​
Prerequisites

The NAS or network drive must be mounted (connected) to your computer.
The mounted drive should appear like a regular folder in File Explorer.

​
Connection Method

NAS folders are connected the same way as local folders.
1

Click Open Folder

Click File > Open Folder from the top menu.
2

Navigate to Network Drive

Navigate to the mounted network drive (e.g., Z:\ or \\server\share).
3

Select Folder

Select the desired folder and click OK.

​
Important Notes

Network Connection DependencyIf the network connection is lost, documents in that folder cannot be accessed. Wissly will answer based on already-indexed content, but new documents won’t sync.
Indexing TimeIndexing time may be longer depending on network speed.
PermissionsOnly folders with read permissions can be connected.
If your NAS folder contains thousands of large documents, we recommend connecting subfolders separately rather than the entire folder.
