Network Folders :: Setting Up a Mapped Drive
If you only expect to be accessing your HSU Network Folder on campus, you can set up a mapped drive, which makes the folder appear as an additional hard drive on your computer. Under Windows, it will show up as a drive in MyComputer; Macintosh users will see an icon on their desktop.
Staff and Faculty should contact their ITC for assistance in connecting to their Network Folder before consulting the instructions below to set up the mapped drive.
Before you begin ...
To configure a mapped drive, you will need to have available:
- Your HSU User Name
- The address of the server containing your Network Folder
- The drive letter or mounting name to use for the Network Folder
Your HSU User Name is the part of your campus email address before the @ symbol. Users not connected to HSU's Active Directory Domain will need to enter their User Name as HSU-AD\HSUUserName
The server address is :\\folders\
The drive letter or mounting name will vary depending on the operating system in use.
Windows:
S:\ - Lab-specific share drive
T:\ - Faculty Folders (\\folders\faculty)
U:\ - User's Network Folder (\\folders\HSUUserName)
Macintosh:
"HSUUserName" - User's Network Folder (smb://folders/HSUUserName)
"class-files" - Faculty Folders (smb://folders/faculty)
"share" - Lab-specific share drive
Linux:
/home - User's Network Folder (//folders/HSUUserName)
/class-files - Faculty Folders (//folders/faculty)
/share - Lab-specific share drive
