Christopher Newport University provides a network file storage system that allows you to store your CNU-related files in a secure, accessible, and backed-up location. This article will answer the most frequently asked questions about networked file storage.

Note
At this time, the quota for personal drives is 25 GB. It is suitable for temporary file storage and transfer but not intended for large computer backups.

Why use network file storage?

• Personal is accessible only to you. 

• Departments contain a folder for each department in which you are a member. Each department folder is open to the entire department, and no changes will be made to access the department folder.

• Collaborative contains a folder for each cross-departmental group that has requested a network file storage location. You will only see Collaborative folders that you have access to. Generally, all the contents of a Collaborative folder are accessible to anyone with access to the folder. If you need more complex or frequently changing permissions, we recommend a Google Shared Drive.
