For the best file storage experience, Google Drive and Google Drive for Desktop are strongly recommended. Any departmental email account has Google Drive.
A few of the benefits of Google Drive over H: drive include the following:
- Easier accessibility from off-campus
- Mobile access
- Multi-user access and collaboration on shared files
Overview
Departments and organizations can have their own space on a UWF server for saving files and posting websites. This space works just like your personal H: drive, but can be shared with multiple people.
Not sure if your department/organization has file storage space?
If you have a department/organization email account, then you also have storage space. If not, DISReps are authorized to request additional accounts on behalf of the areas they represent. Please note: FTP to file storage space for Departmental Accounts is not supported.
How do I open the file storage space?
First, you must be an authorized to use the account
Only certain people are authorized to use department and organization accounts. To see if you have access, search in MyUWF (my.uwf.edu) for File Storage. If the account is listed in your "File storage" section, then you already have permission to open the file storage space. To request permission, contact the Responsible Party for that account. If you need assistance identifying a Responsible Party for an ArgoNet account, you may contact your DISRep or the ITS Help Desk at (850) 474-2075 or helpdesk@uwf.edu.
Map a network location
Mapping a network drive creates a permanent connection to your departmental drive storage. This method only works when your computer is on to UWF's network (e.g. in your office, ArgoAir, etc) . Visit Adding a Network Location or contact your technology support provider for assistance.
