Network Drives

Your G: drive is the best place to store your personal University work. It is backed up several times a day, meaning that it is possible to use a University PC to recover corrupt or accidentally deleted documents.

You will automatically have access to the G: drive when you login to any open access PC on campus. The documents below contain instructions on how to access your G: drive from your own computer in student houses and halls, over the wireless network and using a broadband connection when off campus. These documents also contain information on connecting to the M, U, X and Z drives.

Update: If you mapped to a Z drive, prior to 13th March 2013, you will need to make a change to your settings. On a Windows PC, right click the drive, select disconnect and then follow the instructions to re-map. On a Mac, remove the underscore from the server address before you connect to the drive.
