With my old WD NAS (Mybook Live Duo) I created symbolic links to add mybook shares into the windows user libraries with:
mklink /d C:\folder \\<NAS>\<share>
Now I have a new My Cloud EX2 and I can also create such symbolic links but german umlaut does not work anymore. When I try to browse my shares through the folder created with mklink I can not open folders like “Töne” or “Kurfürsten” because of the characters ö and ü I guess. I always get an error message “The path is not available”.
When I open such folders via UNC path it works but I need a solution with mklink because e.g. Adobe Lightroom does not open catalog files on a network (UNC) path.
I tried subst <drive>: \\<NAS>\<share>
. Unfortunately this is not fully working on Windows 10 (problems with restart or sometime it is not working at all)
I would be happy if anybody could provide me a solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Micha
