Here's an example that assigns drive letter "d" to the shared folder
named "share", which is located on the computer named "computer":

net use d: \\computer\share

You can substitute other drive letters, share names, and computer
names.

For a description of all the command options, type:

net use /?

Could this work with a dynamic dns instead than computer name?
Something like this:

net use d: my.ddns.ip\share

Thanks

In principle yes, in fact it will work with any form of IP address or name
which indicates a specific computer.

If you intend to do so over the Internet though, be aware that the smb
protocol which this uses is generally not regarded as secure enough for such
purposes. That's where tunneling protocols or VPN come in, by adding an extra
layer of encryption.
