Drive Mapping on Windows or Mac OSX
Research Standard and Research Project storage can be mapped to your Windows or Mac computer as a remote drive. Due to security risks, RC no longer provisions SMB exports for new storage shares by default; exceptions may be granted only with strong justification. We will continue to support drive mapping for shares that were previously provisioned with SMB access until further notice.
If you are off Grounds, you must be connected to a VPN, such as the UVA Anywhere VPN or the More Secure VPN from ITS. The More Secure VPN is recommended where available.
