Whitesands Fileserver Account Information

As with myUNO, myMail, and myFolder, accounts are automatically created.

UNO faculty and staff can request that student workers be added to departmental groups to grant them access to that deparment's files.

Departmental Disk Space Quota:
Departments have a shared storage area on the O: drive. Departmental shared storage disk space starts initially with 40GB at no cost.

Departments may purchase additional storage space on the Whitesands system. A one-time fee of $400 will take available space to 100GB.

Departments may be able reduce their storage space usage by transfering seldom used files and directories to CD or DVD Rom media or by using the .zip compressed folder feature available to Windows XP users. See attached document for information on using Windows XP file compression.--> Database 'ITS Public Knowledge Base', View 'By Category', Document 'Compressing Files in Windows XP'
