Introduction to shared storage (S:\ Drive)
 |
The S:\ (shared) drive is a shared network storage area for the entire school. It is divided into many sub-folders that access is controlled through permissions.
|
The shared drive is protected from loss that might occur from viruses, data corruption, and accidental deletion. When the storage limit is approached, no warning is issued; if the drive reaches capacity then all data on the drive is rendered READ-ONLY. NOTE: The storage of files which are in violation of copyright laws is not permitted on the share drive. This effects the following file types:
- all music formats (mp3, wmv, etc.)
- all executables (*.exe)
This section is intended to aide in the connection to the servers at the School of Architecture and Planning from ANY computer in ANY location.
Data retention note:
Data will remain available for one week after grades are submitted to the University. Thereafter, this material will be removed from the file server. Users are responsible for making personal copies of this material before this time.
Connecting to shared storage
If you are using a computer which is maintained by the School of Architecture and Planning, then you will not need to follow these directions as the connection to your personal storage is done automatically when a successful log in occurs.
Connect to the share drive via any internet browser (READ-ONLY):
https://ubfs.buffalo.edu/ubfs/collab/ArchPlan/share/
The directions for connecting to the shared drive are listed here:
- UB file service (UBFS)
- Follow the directions for the COLLAB (shared) space for your operating system.
- Once connected to the COLLAB space, navigate to the ARCHPLAN folder and the SHARE folder.
