The U: Drive is network storage that is automatically backed up twice a day and is available from computers anywhere on campus.  As data loss can occur when the hard drive in your computer fails, ITS recommends that you save your files on your U: Drive. If your computer crashes, your important files will still be accessible and safe on the server. 

How do I get to it?

  • PC Users

    • The U: drive is automatically mapped as drive letter U: and is available from within the My Computer (or This PC) Icon.

  • Mac Users

    • The U: Drive will appear on the right hand side of the dock as your Network Home. If it doesn't, follow these instructions:

  • In Finder, click the GO menu up top. Select “Connect to Server…”

    • For the server address, type smb://ad/fshome/ and then put your username. For example, for someone with the username Johnson, it becomes smb://ad/fshome/johnson

How much space do I have?

How can I tell how much space I have left in my U: Drive?

  • PC Users

    • When you open My Computer or This PC, you will see your U: drive. Under the bar that shows how full it is, you will see a number that reads "## GB free of ## GB"

  • Mac Users

    • Right-click the desktop icon and select get info. In the new window, it will display the amount of available space.

If I run out of space, can I have my quota increased?
