Depending upon your job and your department's organization, there are many different places you have to store your data. Two of those places are on the standard network "drive space" and here in WorkPlace (SharePoint).
There are three main "drives" that every employee receives access to when their network access is created.
The main drives are as follows:
P: The "P" drive is your department drive. You will be assigned this drive automatically based upon your job assignment's cost center codes. You may have access to multiple department drives depending upon your job assignment(s).
U: The "U" drive is known as the community drive. Based upon your various "memberships" in the college community you will be assigned access to appropriate community drives. Your supervisor will know the name of the drive and should submit a helpdesk ticket to have the drive assigned to you. The U: drive is not assigned automatically and access requires a request by your supervisor or the owner of the drive.
You may be assigned other drives depending upon your location and assignment. Your assigned drives can be seen by opening the "Computer" or "Windows Explorer." Anyone who needs one for a college purpose can request a community drive via a Help Desk Service Request. You will need to provide a name for the community, the name of the employee to be designated as the owner and the names of the other employees who need access to the drive.
The P: and U: drive can be accessed from https://broward.onelogin.com/login
Local Drives
C: Most computers have at least one local drive, usually, the "C:" drive. You may be tempted to save your data to this drive or even your computer desktop. We don't recommend or encourage this practice.
Why? Because local computer drives are not backed up. When you save your data to one of the main drives listed above (H, P, U) they are backed up daily by our systems group. In the event of data loss or corruption we can usually restore an older file for you. If you save a file locally to the computer and it is lost or becomes corrupt, it may be lost forever.
