- Students can access various network folders (described below) from the lab computers and a personal laptop.
- All shared network course folders on the G drive are emptied twice each year: on or about December 21 and May 20.
- Only architecture-related files can be stored on the school’s shared network folders. If pirated software is found on shared folders, the person who uploaded it will lose access to architecture computing resources.
- Each lab computer has a folder on the C drive called Student (C:\Student), which is specific to that computer and can be used as a temporary location to work on files.
- It can be advantageous to copy large files to this Student folderWhen working with files, copy them to this Student folder. 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.
- When working with large files, Avoid opening or working on large files directly from your H Drive/Documents
folder. File corruption or program crashes can result when working on files across the network in this manner. Instead, copy the files to the Student folder on the C drive 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.
