How to View Shared Folders on Another Computer

Use the net view command to view shared resources located on another computer. To view shared folders on another computer, open a [gs command prompt] and run the following command.

net view computer

For example:

net view d820

You can identify Computer by using the [gs computer] name, host name, or IP address. If you receive an "Access is denied" error message when attempting to view shares on a remote computer, establish a NetBIOS connection to the remote computer.
