What is the N:Drive?

The N:Drive is an area of file storage on the campus network which is made available to students who wish to share files in a collaborative way with other students.

Why might I use the N:Drive?

Students who wish to share files in a collaborative way with other students can use the N:Drive as it provides central network file location. Files placed onto the N:Drive can be read, copied, modified or deleted by other students who have permissions to access that N:Drive.

How do I access the N:Drive in the PC Suites?

Once you have requested and been assigned rights to a spacific folder on the N:Drive, double-click My Computer and then the N-Drive icon.  The folder which you have been asigned rights will be displayed.
Note:  If  you have not been assigned rights to a folder, the N:Drive icon will appear blank.

How do students access the N:Drive from their desktop computer?

• Windows users
  Students who use a N:Drive will be prompted after login to also map the Q: Drive. In this case, a DOS prompt appears requesting your Campus password to map the N/Q Drive.
  
  
• Macintosh users
  Go to https://myfiles.nuigalway.ie/

Note: If your desktop has been migrated to UDS (University Domain Service), the N:Drive is mapped automatically and is visible when you open Windows Explorer.

How do I access the N:Drive off-campus?  

Go to https://myfiles.nuigalway.ie/
Note that https://myfiles.nuigalway.ie/ is not available from the PC Suites.

How do students request access to write to the N:Drive?
