Try entering the UNC name of the shared drive and backup file directly in
the file name input box, assuming you have granted the appropriate
permissions. Alternatively, you could use the TSQL syntax directly e.g.

RESTORE DATABASE xx FROM DISK = '\\serverx\sharename'

(for a full database restore).
