SU Google Drive

  • While not a network folder, each student has access to an SU Google Drive with up to 2TB 10GB of space.
  • On the lab computers, access your SU Google Drive through a web browser by signing in with an alternative form of your SU email ending in @g.syr.edu.
  • You can download these files to the Student folder on a lab computer's C drive and work on them from there. Upload them back to your Google Drive when done.

Lab Computers: Using the local C drive to work on files

  • Working on very large files directly from the H and G drives can be slow and may lead to file corruption or program crashes.
  • Each lab computer has a folder on the C drive called Student (C:\Student), which is specific to that computer.
  • Consider copying your files C:\Student and work on them from there. File operations such as opening and saving will usually be faster.
  • When you are done working, copy your files from the Student folder back to your Documents/H drive.
  • Remember not to leave files on the C drive when you are done, as there is no guarantee that they will be there the next time you login.
