Access Student Network Files

While on a UFV campus computer or connected to the UFV network, students have access to three mapped drives:

R: drive (HomeDir) — Personal storage (approx. 1 GB). Add, modify, and delete files.

Q: drive (Instructor_Files) — Read-only access to files uploaded by instructors (e.g., course materials).

P: drive (Public) — Shared student public storage; read/write access for all students.
