### Description
This gist will cover mounting a network drive to your raspberry pi. This is being tested on a raspberry pi running Raspbian Stretch.

The process is assuming you have a windows network drive already setup on your network and the proper permissions configured. The following snippet shows our assumptions:

```
ip = 192.168.1.10

windowsUser = user1
userPass = password

sharedDriveName = shared
```

### Dependencies
You will need to install `cifs-utils` from the raspbian package manager using the following command:

```
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
```

Then create the directory you want the shared drive to mount in. In our case, this will be at `/mnt/shared`. We will also change the permissions so that our `pi` user has permission to modify this directory.

```
mkdir /mnt/shared
```

Now we will add an entry into our `/etc/fstab` to get the shared drive to mount whenever the raspberry pi boots. Use your preferred text editor to open up `/etc/fstab` and append the following entry to the bottom of the file.

```
sudo vim /etc/fstab
```

```
# /etc/fstab

//192.168.1.10/shared /mnt/shared cifs username=user1,password=password,iocharset=utf-8,sec=ntlm,vers=2.1,uid=1000,gid=1000,x-systemd.automount 0 0
```

Now, when your raspberry pi boots up, you should see the network drive contents at `/mnt/shared/`.
