Personal Online Storage Space: P Drive vs Skydrive

Wentworth offers personal online storage space for all students, faculty, and staff. This storage space is great for backing up academic files. Historically, Wentworth has offered in-house storage space, called P drive or Personal drive, with 500MB of space. In Fall 2011, Wentworth partnered with Microsoft to offer skydrives for all students. A skydrive is accessible anywhere you have an Internet connection and you have 25GB of space. You can share files and photos with others and collaborate on documents. For more info on your Microsoft Skydrive, go to http://explore.live.com/windows-live-skydrive.

Accessing Your Skydrive (for Students)

To access your skydrive, go to http://skydrive.live.com. It is recommended that you bookmark this page for easy access in the future. Log into this site with your email credentials.

Accessing Your Personal Drive (P Drive) (For Faculty & Staff)

The P: Drive is your personal space. Only you are able to see documents placed on the P: drive. It is a good place to store and back up your files. As long as you are on campus and logged on to Active Directory, you will have access to the P: Drive.

	Please make sure you are currently accessing the LeopardSecure or WIT-SECURE wireless network to take advantage of your Wentworth resources. Click on the Wireless icon. Select WIT-SECURE.
	Make sure the Finder is the active application. Under the pull-down menu at the top of the screen, go to Go and then to Connect to Server. The Go pull-down menu is only available in the Finder.

	Click the Connect Button.

Accessing Additional Network Drives

Similar to the P Drive there are two other network drives that students can access with their Macbook Pros while on campus. You access these drives the same as you would the P Drive.

Shared (S:) - The Shared drive (S: on a PC) is a drive that allows all faculty/staff/students to share information with each other. For example, if you would like to share a document with another student, you can place a document into a folder on the Shared drive and anyone should be able to see it and collaborate with you. Please keep in mind that this drive is open to all faculty, staff and students so sensitive material should never be placed on the S: drive. Also, since this drive is open to everyone, the Shared drive should never be used to backup your documents. Courses (T:) - The Courses drive (T: on a PC) is a drive that can function as temporary exchange drive for courses. Faculty can create a course folder, e.g. Arch400 in it. All students and faculty will have access to it and everybody will have the right to upload, download, create, delete and alter files and folders. This drive will be cleaned at the end of every semester. Note: Students should backup their work as well on another drive, on CD Rom, or other devices.
