Central network drives for secure storage and sharing of files for all university members.
All employees and students receive access to central network drives. Each user has a personal home drive (Z:\) and access to shared data drives (X:\) for cross-organizational collaboration. On devices in PC Network System (WORK-PCVS-1.0) and on Virtual Desktops (WORK-VD-1.0), drives are mapped automatically. Drives are backed up daily. Outside the managed environment, access is possible via UNC path.
