Network Drive not shown on Agilent Masshunter Quantitative Analysis Software

Hello people, first of all thanks for reading this, could be a silly question but I wasn't able to find the answer.

When using the Agilent Masshunter Quantitative Analysis Software, I want to "Export" a table but the pop up window asking where to save it does NOT show the Network Drives mounted on the system. Is there any option I can change to make them visible and usable on the software as source and destiny of files?

I am running the latest version of the software on a Windows 10 (22H2) computer, obviously in any other program I see the Network Drives mounted but not on Agilent and even if trying to input them by the letter manually it gives me an error of location not available or something similar, so it is driving me crazy.

Hello Geriel ,

Starting with Quant 11 for LCMS, all MassHunter data, methods, report templates, and report output must reside within a Project. Projects cannot be located on network shares.

If you need to copy your report output to another location, the Post Processing option is still available in the reporting method. Instructions for using this to copy a .CSV report can be found in this article.

With some simple edits to the Windows .bat file you can copy other file format output as well.

Hello again, sorry for bothering you once more, but I realised it is not for LCMS, instead it is for GCMSMS, and to make it clear I am uploading a screenshot of a table I want to export as an example.

Hello Geriel ,

From what I can see even on LCMS Version 11 and 12 the export function does allow for export outside of the Project. On my VM I am able to see a network share that is on the host. This works if it is mapped as a drive or just a share enabled on the network.

You may want to check with your IT to see if they have any restrictions for accessing network locations based on user or permissions. If allowed you could try running quant as an admin to see if that allows for access. If that works then it sounds like your IT has put some restrictions on network share access.
