TeraStation 3210DN - Change Drive Letter Mapping

Greetings - I just bought a TeraStation 3210DN.  I am in the process of setting it up now via Windows 10 Professional.  Using the NASNavigator2 software I mapped the "Share" drive.  But the software won't let me choose which drive letter I want.  It automatically assigns a drive letter (L: in this case).  I really want Z: instead.  Is there a way to change the drive letter?  I checked the Windows 10 Computer Management program and neither the NAS device nor my share show up there as I expected.  So I can't do that way.  Other ideas?

Thanks in advance, Mark

If you chose the "Map Share" option in NAS Navigator it automatically picks a letter. The NAS will not show in Windows Computer Management because it's not physically attached to the computer, it's a network share.

In Windows File Explorer you can right click on the current mapping and choose "Disconnect". Then double-click on the TS3210 icon in NAS Navigator. This should open a window showing the available shares. Right-click on the share you want to map and choose "Map Network Drive". That should take you through the normal Windows drive mapping wizard and allow you to select the drive letter from those available.
