Shared Network Folders

Shared folders at The University are a collection of networked files that are available to all staff and visitors. Each Faculty has its own set of folders and sub folders that can be restricted so that only the requested people can view them.

The Shared drive can be accessed by going to the drive letter S:\. From here, the folders are organised by Faculty/Division and then School/Area.

By default, you have access to your faculty's main folders.

Getting Access and Request for Creation

To gain access to secured folders or to have a folder created, complete a Shared Network Folder Access Request Form. This can be completed by any staff member or visitor and then requires authorisation by a manager or authorised approver. This form can also be used to request access be removed.

As this is a restricted staff drive, which may contain sensitive information, students cannot gain access.

Request for Additional Shared Network Space

A Shared Network Space Request Form must be completed by a School/Area Manager. Use this form to request additional shared network space on your home server.
