From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Unless your company's IT department specifically setup the drives on the local network to be accessible from other OS's then Windows, you won't be able to connect to them, without setting up Samba/CIFS.
As others have status, if you are allowed to use Linux as a company device, ask your IT department how to access the company stuff. If you are not really allowed and are just doing, you probably won't have access to much that is not a webapp.
