Everything about Drive mapping

Association of a drive letter with a shared network storage location

Drive mapping is the process of associating a local drive letter with a shared storage area on a remote computer over a computer network. Once a drive has been mapped, applications on the client computer can read and write files on the remote storage as if it were a locally attached hard disk drive, using the assigned letter in file paths.
