To start a secure connection to a shared drive:

1. Access the shared drive on a secure connection, such as using a VPN or SSH tunnel connected to the shared drive.
2. Install and configure any security services, such as multi-factor authentication, that may be required, depending on the shared drive.
3. Check to make sure any user access controls, such as IP-based access rules, policies, and user authentication, are set up properly.
4. Look for any other settings or procedures that may be required to securely access the shared drive.
