Network Storage (Recommended)

Network G: Drive
Everyone has 100 MB of storage on the network. To access network storage, use the “G Drive Login” icon.  Your username is the same as your GroupWise username.  Your default password is the last 7-digits of your ID number. For more details, go to http://www.loyola.edu/lablogin.

NetStorage
This network storage is also available from anywhere you can access the Web, through the use of NetStorage.  For more information and to access NetStorage, go to http://www.loyola.edu/netstorage .

Related Information
Periodic backups of the data are executed.  The Technology Service Center should be able to restore data upon request.  It is important to use the “G Drive Logout” icon when finished to prevent unwanted access.

Removable Data Storage

USB Flash Drives
All lab computers have USB ports.  Caution: This is an emerging technology, and varying results/performance may be experienced.  For current information, go to http://www.loyola.edu/flashdrives .

CD Writers

Mail Storage
If you forget your login password, exceed your network limit, or forget to bring removable media,  save the file to the “Temporary Student Work” folder on the desktop of the local computer.  Then, e-mail the file to yourself as an attachment.  For more details, go to http://www.loyola.edu/datatemp .
