I installed Ubuntu on my Windows 10 laptop via the Windows Subsystem for Linux.
I have a NAS drive connected to my home Wi-Fi network. There's a "share" on it, accessible at \MYCLOUDEX2ULTRAHome that I've also mounted in Windows as my Z: drive.
When I start up the Ubuntu console, if I go to /mnt/ I can see c and d directories there (for my laptop's local hard drives), but how can I navigate to my Z Drive?

I tried this and it worked for me
sudo mkdir /mnt/mydesktopC
followed by
mount -t drvfs '\mydesktopC$' /mnt/mydesktopC
I used my C drive as a shared drive but I suppose you could do it for any share...

C$ is a default administrative share on Windows (there is one for each local drive). Is Home$ a shared folder you have defined yourself? Typically, I would not expect these shared folders to finish in $, other than the default administrative shares. If you type \MYCLOUDEX2ULTRA within Windows Explorer, it should show you the shared folders defined

OK sorry, I'm not a Unix or networking expert so I was just following your lead with the$. I tried again without the dollar symbol, and now getmount: /mnt/z: can't find in /etc/fstab.In /etc/fstab, there is just one line:LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs / ext4 defaults 0 0
