Please, explain me in simple words how I can access my network drives from Windows in docker desktop

Hello guys,

I am an extreme newbie. Also no programming background. I am very proud that I managed to install some containers and they run successfully.

But especially for plex or other media services I need to access my network drives. I mounted them (eg 192.168.111.xxx\Media\TVShows) from my NAS to windows as network drive.

But in the docker containers I don’t find them.

I tried to install and mount volumes to docker but always running into different issues.

Do I need to enable something on my Synology? Smb or something? But it works perfectly in windows already?

Do I need to change permissions for docker in windows so that they can access them natively?

Is there a way to mount my NAS drives continously within docker or and easy way to access them in my containers?

I checked the wiki about volumes in docker but understood less afterwards than before.

I would really appreciate a newbie friendly answer.

EDIT: Started a new container and used in the optional setting host "M:" and in container path “/TV”.

Now I see in the container when I open tv 3 of 15 folders. Which is weird that I don’t see all. When I access one of those folder I see one subfolder but not all. And I don’t see any files.
