How To Access Remote Folder In Windows

Connecting to (a.k.a. mapping) network drives allows University members to access files stored on University servers. Storing files on network drives provides a user more storage space, backups of their files, and secure ways of sharing files betwixt departments.

Considerations when mapping a network bulldoze:

  • In order to map a network drive, users must exist granted permission by their section or supervisor to access the textile. If a user is in need of permissions, supervisors or departments can submit a Departmental Data Storage request form.
  • Due to HIPAA compliance, AHC drive mappings are non typically permitted.
