As Corinna already said, you will need to provide the password one way or another for network share authentication. You can do this by giving it directly to 'net use', or you can run the sshd service as the desired user. In this case you will give the password for the user when installing the service, and there will be no user context switching necessary. The token for the service will already contain the password, so it should be possible to access network shares using passwordless ssh auth. The downside is that you will only ever be able to log in as that user. (Both because regular user accounts lack the privileges to switch user contexts and because doing so would just result in the same problem of a token lacking a password.)
