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
