Storage

Network

Your home folder on the network is the place to save your work files. It is your own personal storage area and is a secure place to store your files as the contents are regularly backed up. Please be aware that this space is not unlimited so it is important that you manage your files carefully. You can access your home folder by using the Documents icon located on the desktop.

You can also identify your home folder from the My Computer icon as follows:

University of Greenwich - G: drive

University of Kent - Z: drive

Canterbury Christ Church - N: drive

USB Memory stick

If you wish to save your work on removable media, i.e. to transfer it to your home computer or to make an extra back-up, we recommend that you use a USB memory stick. All the PCs in the Drill Hall Library are compatible with USB devices.

Please do not save the only copy of important work onto a USB memory stick. Always ensure there is a copy on your home folder on the network as well.

Your USB key will show up as the L: drive on all Drill Hall PCs. To minimise corruption and loss of data, you should always eject your stick by clicking on the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the System Tray at the bottom right of the PC screen.

When using your USB memory sticks, please remember to take them with you when you leave. Any sticks found will be handed in to Reception who hold a collection of 'Lost Property'. In order to aid in the return of your property, we recommend that you create a text file on your USB key which includes your name and contact details.
