This should be easy...

I need to connect to a share (for example \\WC-ESRI\Shared\GIS), not as a mapped drive (for example S:\). Pro seems to want to use drive letters (which obviously won't work in an enterprise GIS) so I guess I'm missing something?

Thanks,

Tycho

You can do this in AGP.  For example, in the Catalog Pane, I click Folders->Add Connection Folder.  At the top of the Add Folder Connection pane, you type in \\WC-ESRI\Shared\GIS and connect to the folder.  I'd probably type \\WC-ESRI\Shared\ and then single click GIS.  Then click OK.  Your URL UNC path is added as a folder connection in AGP.

You can drag and drop folder connections as well.  This is an old .gif but I just tried from a unc path and works great...
