File Storage [H:]

H: Drive - Network Space for Storing your Files

All students and employees have H: Drive personal space on the network. These files can be seen only by you and they cannot be shared. To access these files follow the directions below.

From On Campus on an eGCC workstation:

Select "My Computer" from your desktop or the Start menu.
Under Network Drives you will see [H:] This is where your H Drive files are located. Only you have access to these files; they are not shared.

From Off Campus or from an office workstation:

For WindowsXP:

Left-click on the Start menu and open "Help and Support."*In the Search box near the top left of the window select "Add a Network Place" and click enter." In the Search Results click on "Make a Shortcut to a Network Place." In the right window that results, under Item 1, click on the "My Network Places" link. In the left sidebar under "Network Tasks," click once on"Add a Network Place."* Any other way you can reach the "Add a Network Place Wizard" will work, too.

In the "Welcome to the Add a Network Place Wizard" window that opens, select "next."

In the Where do you want to create this network place window, please click on "Choose another network location. Specify the address of a Web site, network location or FTP site". Then, click "next."

Now, you will be asked, "What is the address of this network place?" This is a little tricky, so we'll explain it here: The first part of the address is: https://files.gccaz.edu/home/

	The last 3 directories will be related to your Palette (eGCC) username. The first will be the first letter of the username, the second will be the second letter of the username, and the third will be the complete username.
	For example, Patrick's username is plovings, so he would add "/p/l/plovings" after "home" to get https://files.gccaz.edu/home/p/l/plovings; That is what he would enter in the "Internet or Network address:" box. Change the "/p/l/plovings" to reflect your own /u/s/username). Now, click "next."

You should see a login screen. Login with your Palette (eGCC) username and password.

Rename the shortcut if you wish. Then click "next."

Select "Finish."

In the Explorer window you should now see "your username" on files.gccaz.edu as a shortcut under "My Network Places."

You can create folders and copy and paste documents into them.

For MacIntosh:

To use WebDAV on Mac OS X, you need at least Mac OS X Tiger (10.4). To access the shared space, you will additionally need to disable network stores.

To disable network stores, paste the following command into a Terminal window:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices [DSDontWriteNetworkStores] true
Terminal can be launched from Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
This step need only be done once.

From the Finder, select "Connect to Server" from the Go menu.

The first part of the address is: https://files.gccaz.edu/home/

	The last 3 directories will be related to your Palette (eGCC) username. The first will be the first letter of the username, the second will be the second letter of the username, and the third will be the complete username.
	For example, Patrick's username is plovings, so he would add "/p/l/plovings".
	On the screen you should see "Connect to Serverm" enter the server address in this box: https://files.gccaz.edu/home/p/l/plovings (Change the "/p/l/plovings" to reflect your own /u/s/username)) then select "Connect."

In the resulting box titled "[WebDAV] File System Authorization" enter your eGCC username and password then select "Ok."

A window will be opened displaying the files in your home directory.
