Network drives for data storage can be mounted from either the Device Settings or the File Manager in the Network tab:
Device Settings:
File Manager:
Click "Add network drive".
A modal will open. Click either SMB (Samba) or NFS (Network File System) shares.
Use SMB for connecting to a shared drive on a Windows server, and NFS for Linux.
If your shared drive is on a macOS machine or NAS (Network-Attached Storage), you can use either SMB or NFS.

NFS:
To mount SMB shares:
Enter the host name or IP address of the SMB share. This is acquired from your network admin.
Enter the drive on the network host that the user wants to share. Take note to start with a '/'. E.g. /data.
The 'Mount Point' field will auto-populate with the host name and path to the network share. However, you can customise this. In the file manager, it will appear as: /data/network/mt-111111-data for example.
Add a username.
(Optional) Enter a password.
(Optional) Enter a domain name.
Click Mount.
Providing the settings were correct, the mounted drive will be added to the 'Disk Management' overview. The user will be able to:
