DLC Spring 2021 Class Projects/Ming Ma
About this article
In Professor Ma's class, you will be using Class Storage. This article includes an overview of the Class Storage service and how to access this service. Your instructor created a class storage account for your class on a WSU network file server for the duration of an academic term. The class storage directory includes personal subdirectories for each student and a shared subdirectory that all students can access. Class storage directories are accessible via the Web by the account owner. Important note: Students are added to the class storage service automatically based on the official class roster and drops/adds are managed automatically throughout the term. Please make sure to back up all content as it is deleted the day after the semester is over.
Accessing a class store
Class storage is located on a local network file server.
- On a PC, you connect to it as you would your R: (personal) or S: (department) drives. The class storage will be listed automatically as your T directory or ClassStorage(\\winona.edu\dfs\Community)((T:). When you are off-campus, you will need a VPN connection and will also need to Click to Map Drives in order to see it on your list of locations in File Explorer.
- On a Mac, select the Go menu of the Finder. Then select Connect to Server. Search for smb://files.winona.edu/classes
- Each class store will be named according to the year/term and the 6 digit Minnesota State ID of that course. Each course will have a 1 GB storage limit. Access to each course will be determined by the class roster.
Updated class lists (due to drop/add) will occur once daily by IT until the drop/add period is over.
Mapping Network Drives
Please refer to Mapping Network Drives when connecting to storage.
