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.)
