Dec 31, 2018 If you want to keep a Mac connected to a network drive, even after restarting, the easiest way to do this is to follow the three steps above then add these: Hit the Apple menu, then System Preferences Users & Groups From here, select Login Items and click + to add a new item Find your network drive and click Add, then close the window.
There are other approaches, such as configuring a profile for scripts that are run at login, too — if you have more than a few Mac systems around, then Apple would manage these via profiles or (maybe) via the older and increasingly-deprecated Open Directory MCX support.
