wmic share get. E.g., I saved some files from a Windows 10
workstation to the shared Users folder on a Windows 2012 server
in a Windows
domain, but I didn't see the files under the user's account in
C:\Users or D:\Users on the server. When I ran the
wmic share get caption,name,path command from a command prompt
on the server, I could see that the sharename Users pointed to
G:\ServerFolders\Users.Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.9200] (c) 2012 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

If you would like to store the output in a file, you can use the command
wmic /output:sharenames.txt share get caption,name,path. The
file would be stored in the directory from which the command was run.
You can specify a full path name in addition to the file name, e.g.:
wmic /output:c:\Users\public\documents\sharenames.txt share get caption,name,path
Enclose the path and file name in double quotes, if there is a space in either.
You can also specify a parameter to the command to send the output to the Windows clipboard, instead.
C:\>wmic /output /?
OUTPUT - Specifies the mode for output redirection.
USAGE:
/OUTPUT:<outputspec>
NOTE: <outputspec> ::= (STDOUT | CLIPBOARD | <filename>)
STDOUT - Output will be redirected to the STDOUT.
CLIPBOARD - Output will be copied on to CLIPBOARD.
