How to connect to Shared Guest Drive in ATI 2021 with Hyper V?

Thread needs solution

I have logged into a Hyper V virtual machine and using the Integration Services Guest Services feature created a connection in the VM to an external drive on my local PC.  I then attempted to attach an existing backup to Acronis from within the VM.  I browse to the drive and as soon as I click on the drive name I'm prompted for authentication credentials to \\tsclient\D.  I assumed this might be the username and password on my local PC, so I entered those credentials and tested the connection, but I receive an error.  I tried every other credential I could think of, but nothing seems to work.  Does anyone know how I can attach an existing backup through the tsclient drive?  I don't have any issues browsing in File Explorer to the tsclient drive and reading files from there.  It seems I'm only prompted for the mystery credentials when using ATI 2021.

Thanks.
