All faculty and staff have access to the OneDrive for Business feature in our Microsoft Office 365 environment. The university no longer provides new employees with S: drives (on-site storage).
Windows users connected to the campus network (wired or wireless) get their FalconShare spaces mapped automatically. The 'home' space is mapped as S: drive and the campus department file space (including Collaboration) is mapped as T: drive. Other spaces commonly available are 'Falcon' as O: drive and 'eSIS' as R: drive. Student employees need to log into the computer with their student employee 'S' account in order to access department spaces. Student employees do not receive S: drive space.
Due to the way that drives are mapped, using a laptop off-campus and then bringing it back on campus without first logging off will result in the S: drive not reconnecting. To resolve this problem, there are two options:
Option 1: Re-map the network drive (Quickest option)
- Make sure a secure connection is established with the UWRF network (If you are off campus, use VPN - Virtual Private Network)
- Open File Explorer
- Right click on This PC on the left side of the window
- Select Map network drive from the menu that appears
- Choose S drive for the Drive drop down arrow and type the following into the Folder field: \\falconshare.uwrf.edu\Home\W2600000 (replace "W2600000" with your Falcon username)
- and/or choose T drive and type this: \\falconshare.uwrf.edu\campus
- and/or choose O drive and type this: \\wings\falcon
- and/or choose R drive and type this: \\wings\esis
- Select Finish
Option 2: Log off of the laptop and log back in while connected to the network. (If you are off campus, enable the VPN Connect before sign-on feature; instructions can be found in the related article about VPN.)
