2023 Mac mini M2 Pro on Ventura 13.5
(although this issue has persisted for 10+ years on multiple computers, and multiple different networks).
I have 2x network drives I use constantly. They're added to my Login Items on boot-up, and ALWAYS show-up as icons on my desktop. I can also ALWAYS access them on the Finder sidebar, under "Locations", but I have to click on the servers name first, then the individual drive(s). The server these are on is hardly ever turned off btw (besides a rare reboot, maybe every couple months), and I have no known network connection issues.
The problem is I want those drives (AND individual job folders on them – I'm always working on multiple projects) to be accessed as quickly as possible, via a SINGLE click in Finder. The problem is both the Finder "Locations" (for the 2x drives), and Finder "Favorites" (for individual folders) keep on disappearing – maybe later the same day, maybe a week+ later... but ALWAYS disappear. Like my Mojave server has an uptime of 43 days now... and I've had to re-add these a good dozen+ times on my main computer... again, this has happened for 10+ years on multiple completely separate networks at totally separate locations (home, and 2-3x different work locations).
Is this feature just broke in MacOS for the last 10+ years?
How can I make these ALWAYS show up in my Finder sidebar, and NEVER, EVER, disappear?
