How to Map a Network Drive on PC

PC

• If you are off campus, you need to connect to the VPN. Go to https://remote.uga.edu and sign in using UGA myid and password. Alternatively, you can manually download and install the VPN by going to http://software.uga.edu

• Allow the installation of Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client.

• Once the VPN client is installed, launch it.

• Enter remote.uga.edu in the ‘connect to’ box and click ‘connect’.
• Enter your UGA myid and password and click ‘connect’.
• After successful connection, the program will minimize into the application tray next to the clock at the bottom-right of the desktop.

• Now we can map the drive. To do this, open a new File Explorer window. You can use the keyboard combo of "Windows key + E""to do this. Then right click on "Computer""or "Your PC", and choose Map Network Drive". You will get a dialogue box similar to the following: 
• For folder, you can copy and paste this path: \\msmyid.uga.edu\ifs\forestry\forestry01\Shares\
• You can choose whatever Drive letter you want (e.g. q here)
• At the end of this path, you need to add your own shared driver, e.g., gradshare or Records 
• Finally, check Reconnect at sign-in
• Select ‘Finish’ and enter your credentials exactly as shown below with myid\ preceding your own actual MyID: (i.e., myid\ntcooper)
• You should have now successfully mapped your Shared Drive. You can access it by selecting ‘Computer’ from the start menu.
