======How to access X-drive and U-drive from PCs======

====Windows====

For Windows desktops, Yoyo and Managed, the X-drive and U-drive are already mapped when you log in.

====Linux====

This can be accessed through the file manager (easy), or it can be set to mount automatically at login time (complicated).

**To access X-drive via the file manager:**\\
Press ctrl-L, and enter this: <code>smb://uosfstore.shef.ac.uk</code>
When prompted, enter your university username, **SHEFUNIAD** for the domain, and your university password.

**To access U-drive via the file manager:**\\
Before connecting you need to know which server your store is located on. To find out, go here:\\
https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/it-services/password/crisp-web.pl\\
Log in, and click on "View University Storage Information". After some time (yawn), it will show you something like STFDATAxx (xx being a number), use this in the next step.\\
Open the file manager, press Ctrl-L, and enter <code>smb://stfdataxx.shef.ac.uk/</code> (replacing xx with the number of yours!)\\
When prompted, enter your university username, **SHEFUNIAD** for the domain, and your university password.\\
Once logged in, go to Home -> Ac\\
It'll show your username, open that, and there is your U-drive..


**How to enable auto-mounting of U-drive and X-drive on login**

It is possible to have the U-drive and X-drive mounted when computer boots. It requires some set-up tasks run as root (sudo) and editing some system files. If you wish to do this, see this page:
