If you do not see your network drives, first restart your computer. This actually resolves the problem 9 times out of 10.

If you do not see your network drives after a restart, make sure you are either plugged in with a network cable or are connected to drew1x if on campus.

If you are off campus, you cannot see your network drives unless you use CloudPC or MyFiles.

To grant other users permissions to your folders

1. Single left click on the folder to make sure you're at the correct level.
2. Right click on the desired folder (not a file)
3. Select Properties
4. Click on the Security tab
5. Choose the Edit... button
6. Choose the Add... button
7. In the box marked "Enter the object names to select", type the name of user or group desired
   1. For example, on a Public folder, you could type "everyone"
   2. When looking for an individual user, you can type their username or attempt to search using the person's full name
   3. Consider using departmental groups where possible to reduce cleanup in the future. Speak with UT for details.
8. Choose the Check Names... button
   1. If only one object is found, you will remain in that box and can choose the OK button
   2. If more than one object is found, another window will pop up with a list from which you should choose the desired user/group. Then click OK twice.
9. Check the boxes in the Permissions list at the bottom for the permission(s) desired
   1. The defaults - Read & execute, List folder contents, and Read - are probably appropriate in most cases
   2. If you wish to collaborate with others, add Modify and Write
10. Click Apply
11. Click OK to close the Permissions window, and click OK again to close the Properties window

The U: drive can be accessed the same way as the F: drive.
