The network storage available to you at the University of Paderborn can be integrated into Windows 10 as a so-called network drive.
Network drives are displayed directly next to the hard disks of your computer and thus allow you a quick and easy access to the additional memory:
- When you mount your personal network storage, you will be taken to your user or home directory.
- If you are a member of a university group with network storage and include it, you will be taken to the appropriate group directory.
Requirements[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
- Home directory: If you want to use your personal network storage, it must be activated once via the service portal.
- Group memory: The authorization for the group memory. This is assigned by your department.
