Notepad++ does not see an NAS
-
I have an NAS on my network and Notepad++ does not see it.
Unfortunately all of my other software can see it.
What’s problem? -
The problem could be that you are running Notepad++ “as administrator” – and when you run “as administrator”, it doesn’t have access to the same network drives, because they are connected as your “normal user”, not your “administrator”. (That’s a function of the “running as administrator”, and not a function of Notepad++.)
If running “as administrator”, the title bar of Notepad++ window will end with
- Notepad++ [Administrator]instead of- Notepad++, and the ?-menu’s Debug Info will include a line that saysAdmin mode : ONinstead of the normalAdmin mode : OFFIf that’s not it, then the problem is that you haven’t given us enough information to diagnose your problem.

If you open a folder on the NAS that contains a file which is reasonable to open in a text editor (like a .txt file or a .htm file), open Notepad++ (showing an empty tab), then drag the file from the NAS folder onto the Notepad++ window, what happens?

In addition to what @PeterJones wrote, you may always use the UNC Notation
\\<ServerName>\<ShareName>\<filepath>
to access your file, no matter if running as Admin or not.
