Hello @indra 

To create a connection from a share drive to Qlik Sense, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the Qlik Sense Hub and click on "Create new app".
2. Click on "Create new connection" and select "Folder" from the list of data sources.
3. In the "Connection name" field, enter a name for the connection.
4. In the "Folder path" field, enter the path to the share drive folder you want to connect to.
5. If the share drive requires authentication, select "Use custom credentials" and enter the username and password.
6. Click on "Create" to create the connection.
7. Once the connection is created, you can use it to load data from the share drive folder into your Qlik Sense app.


It is important to note that the steps may vary slightly depending on the version of Qlik Sense you are using. Additionally, you may need to ensure that the Qlik Sense server has access to the share drive folder in order to create the connection successfully.
