(sometimes known as H-drive)

Everyone has 10GB of storage available to them personally.

It can be accessed by going to:

\\staffstore.dcs.shef.ac.uk\username (On Windows) 
smb://staffstore.dcs.shef.ac.uk/username'' (On Linux or Mac)

(Change 'username' for your user name!)

On Windows, when you enter your username enter it as COMSCIAD\username
On Linux/Mac: Enter username on its own; when it asks for the domain, put COMSCIAD.

For Linux users, it can also be mounted using SSHFS. See Access to home dir with sshfs

The Staffstore filestore is snapshotted every night so you can access the files as they were the previous day (useful if you accidentally deleted something and want to retrieve yesterday's version); this can be accessed by yourself in the file manager by going to

\\staffstore.dcs.shef.ac.uk\backups\username (Windows), or
smb://staffstore.dcs.shef.ac.uk/backups/username'' (On Linux or Mac)

(Change 'username' for your user name)

There is also 30-day store of daily backups which can be retrieved but this requires systems administrator action so a TopDesk ticket must be created. When creating a request please state which day you require from and which files/folders. This will then be manually restored by a techie person into a folder “Restored” in the root of your filestore.
