WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT 'DRIVES' FOR?

The most frequently used drives are:

HOME@MACALESTER is your personal space on the network servers. Only you can get to this space and you can store documents and files there.

DriveK@COURSES is for accessing your course folders where professors place documents and files that they want the students in their class to be able to access.

DriveG@GROUPS is groups space on the network. If you are a member of a campus organization, department, etc that has set up a groups folder you can access it here. Access to groups folders is limited only to members of the group for which the folder was set up.

DriveW@DOCS is for accessing your files on the campus web server.

For more information about the other drives available, see the ITS documentation on NetStorage/WebFile.

HOW DO I UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD FILES?

Once you've selected a drive and a specific file, you can use the menu options across the top to do everything from downloading/uploading files to creating new folders. For example, to access a file in your course folders, select DriveK@COURSES by double clicking on it. Locate the file you want to download and check the box before it. Then from the FILE menu across the top, select download - you will be the option to open the file or to save it to the computer you are using.

For more information about other options, see the ITS documentation on NetStorage/WebFile.
