NAS Disappeared from Steam

Hi

 

I recently bought a Buffalo Nas drive which I'm very happy with. A little while ago I backed up some Steam games to it using Steams inbuilt backup utility, but now when I go to restore a game from backup the NAS' drive letter (L) doesn't show up anywhere in Steam. It shows up in Windows fine. 

 

I've unmapped and remapped the network drive, run Steam as admin, restarted my pc, disconnected my VPN, all the usual things, but nothing. The drive doesn't exist as far as Steam is concerned.

 

Any ideas/tips greatly appreciated.

Have you tried looking in Steam settings -> Downloads -> Steam Library Folders and seeing if your L drive is mapped in there? 

 

I store some games on a network drive and sometimes it randomly drops off in steam.

Yeah, the L drive doesn't show up there either. Annoying because it did not that long ago.
