Sonos to NAS path

I'm at my wits end here. For some reason my Sonos controller can no longer find my NAS, where all my music is stored. Going through the process of opening 'music library settings’, click on 'add’ with opens up a window with 3 options, the 3rd being one called 'networked device (ex NAS drive)’ Once I click this option another window opens to type the path to the networked shared. Listed here are a couple of examples such as ; \\myNetworkedStorage\Shared\Music.

As I can't figure out what the exact path is I click on the 'browse’ button. This opens a window to 'browse for folders’ I then click on 'Network’ which has a drop down with my NAS but when I click this it opens a window ’Window cannot access \\NAS21A3A6’ with an error code 0x80070035 and a  'diagnose’ button which, when clicked,  comes up ‘couldn't identify the problem’. I feel I need to find what that 'music’ path is I need to type in to direct Sonos to.

What is the current path you are using?

Sorry, I don't follow. All I've been doing is using the browse button to hopefully find the path, but it seems like it wants me to manually type it in, that's where I'm falling short

 

If you don’t know where your music files are located on the drive, try using one of these for the path:

//name-of-NAS/Multimedia/Music

//ip-of-NAS/Multimedia/Music

//name-of-NAS/Music

//ip-of-NAS/Music

    Success.
