Map Network Drive - How to Map a Drive on Student Laptop - Windows

Please note that student shares are based on specific class enrollment and hence not available to every student. Instructors will inform students of eligibility and need. Student shares are not intended as long-term storage or backup and are subject to deletion after coursework concludes. Students are encouraged to use OneDrive for backup and storage.
