Description: What is a Departmental Network Drive?
Each department has a shared storage space (a network drive) on the campus file servers that can be reached through Network Neighborhood or Windows Explorer.
The departmental shared drives are secure spaces for each department and files can only be modified/deleted/copied by people within the department. These drives are created for faculty and staff to access their files from various campuses or classrooms by logging in to their domain accounts. These directories were also created for faculty and staff to share files.
Since the files on the shared drive are accessible by others in the department, it would be best not to store confidential documents on this drive. However if you must store files on this drive but wish to restrict viewing or modifying the files you also have the option of password-protecting individual files.
