Personal File Storage & File-Sharing on the UCD network

You can access your documents from any other computer in UCD or externally if you wish. When you save files to your home directory or H: drive on the network they can only be accessed by you. You also have the option to save documents to a shared directory, or S: drive, where nominated people with access to that directory can read, modify or delete these files.

Note:

Staff have 1GB of personal space on the network for storing documents on their home directory or H: drive.

Additionally, both students & staff are allocated 2GB via ConnectFiles web storage facility in UCD Connect.
