Open a Finder window to the Network Share you would like to mount.
Launch System Preferences on the Mac (Apple menu > System Preferences), then launch the Users & Groups preference pane.
Make sure your user account is selected on the left-hand side and then click the Login Items tab at the top of the window. Here you will see a list of items that automatically launch at every login for this user.
Drag and drop the folder from Finder onto the System Preferences window. The network share will be added to the list and will, from now on, be mounted automatically at every login for this user.
