The U: Drive

The U: drive is the campus shared drive. People are only able to access the folders here that they have been granted Trustee Rights permissions to .To see what folders you have Trustee Rights to, you only need to look. Anything you see in the U: drive has folder(s) that either are public or which you, specifically, have been granted rights to.

There are many types of Trustee Rightspermissions. You may have some or all of them for a given folder:

• S: Supervisor - all rights to a file. This right cannot be set here, but will be shown if set by an administrator tool.
• R: Read - the trustee can view the contents of files.
• W: Write - the trustee can write to an existing file.
• E: Erase - the trustee can erase a file.
• C: Create - the trustee can create a new file.
• M: Modify - the trustee can modify an existing file.
• F: File Scan - the trustee can see a file in a directory listing.
• A: Access Control - the trustee can add or remove trustees from the folder file.

The G: drive is the departmental drive and connects to one folder on either the O: drive or the P: drive, depending on the user. Students do not generally have access to any of these drives. 

The O: drive is the administrative department drive. If you have access, you will see only the folders and files which you have been given permissions for. 

The P: drive is the academic department drive. Academic projects and files should be stored here.

Students do not generally have access to these drives.

These drives are accessed the same way as the F: drive, and Trustee Rights user permissions are granted following the steps under "To grant Trustee Rights to other users permissions to your folders", above.

The K: Drive

The K: drive is a way for faculty to distribute files to students without using Moodle.

It can be accessed the same way as the F: drive.

Students registered for courses are automatically granted access to the appropriate course folders, which can be found within the relevant semester folder.

The T: Drive

The T: drive contains one folder for each semester you've been at Drew. Inside is what the K: drive showed you during that semester. This archive allows you to find course specific information from earlier in your time at Drew.

...

The M: drive holds campus applications (programs). You should only access these files through the ZenWorks Application Explorer unless if University Technology directs you otherwiseto do so.

Students do not generally have access to this drive.
