Additional Information
This is expected behavior. Drive mappings in Windows are a user setting. If a program is run as administrator (also known as 'elevated'), it is as if it were accessed by a different user, and the drive mappings set up by the 'unelevated' user cannot be seen. Therefore, if ArcGIS Pro is run as an administrator, the mapped network drive must also be set up by the administrator. Refer to the Workaround section for further instructions.Workaround
Use Windows Command Prompt to allow administrative access.
- Open the Command Prompt (Run as administrator).
- Type net use T: \\my_share\my_folder\my_subfolder /persistent:yes
- Open the ArcGIS Pro project.
