Students can access various network folders from the lab computers and a personal laptop.
| Network Location | Folder Name | Quota | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
G Drive | Archive | At the end of each semester, students are asked to upload their final work to the school archive for accreditation purposes. Instructions will be distributed by faculty. | |
Student Courses | Contains shared course folders, if your professor asked for one to be set up. | ||
Student Resources | Here you can find software such as V-Ray for Rhino, the Drawing and Map Archive, printer color palettes, laser cutter templates and the Architects Slide Collection. | ||
Student Scans | After scanning a document or image on the printer Luma (which has a built-in scanner), the file appears in this folder. Files in this folder are read-only and are auto-deleted after 24 hours. You may need to use the file timestamps to determine which files are yours. | ||
Student Scratch | 50gb | A public space to temporarily store and work on files. Files older than 24 hours are deleted. Files are accessible by all architecture students. | |
| OneDrive | OneDrive – Syracuse University | 250gb | Also accessible through http://onedrive.live.com or using the OneDrive app on your phone. |
Access from personal laptop
SU Google Drive
- While not a network folder, each student has access to an SU Google Drive with up to 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.
