# Add Network Mappings

We recommend using mapped network drives when migrating from a Windows file server as they are more robust than direct UNC mappings, but Movebot supports both methods. 

UNC shares can only be configured manually and require a bit of syntactical magic. When adding a mapping from the project, click **Configure folder paths manually** then specify the UNC path to the remote server using the format shown in the example below.

 

For clarity, see the breakdown below:

/SERVER2/SharedFolder

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="261"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>/SERVER2</td><td><p>This is the hostname of the target file-sharing server you are connecting to.</p><p> </p><p>If the original UNC path was \\SERVER2\SharedFolder, this is where SERVER2 came from.</p></td></tr><tr><td>/SharedFolder</td><td>The file share on the server</td></tr></tbody></table>
