You must map your network drives prior to using Source Analysis, Download Content, and Import from File Share. They cannot be accessed with a UNC path (e.g.: \\server\share) in the app.
Note: You can use UNC paths with PowerShell or by using a spreadsheet.
How-To
- In Windows open the File Explorer.
- Select This PC (could be My Computer or Computer) in the left pane.
- Click Map network drive in the ribbon.
- Select a letter for the drive.
- Enter the network drive address.
- Click Finish
- Once the drive is mapped it will appear in the application (You might have to to click on the refresh button if the application was already opened).

I have tried this but it doesn't work. I have tried mapping prior to launching ShareGate (as an administrator), as well as after a reboot. All I see is a C: drive , despite the fact I have already mapped a Z drive. This is actually the second time I have witnessed this problem. The first time, oddly enough disappeared after a few days - could have been an update that fixed it for all I know. My present version is 13.1.0
It is a great likelihood this is an isolated incident as when I use the command line to map, it does indeed show up in ShareGate > Source analysis.
