LAB FILE SHARES
Neuroscience hosts over 20 on-premises file shares for labs. Request access to your lab's file share by emailing your PI and University Research Centers Technology at [email protected].
Connecting from a Neuroscience Computer?
File shares are automatically mapped in Windows as the L: drive.
On Macs, file share shortcuts are placed in /Applications/Neuroscience File Server.
Continue reading this guide if you’re connecting from a personal computer.
How-To Connect
- All computers connecting to Neuroscience file shares must have antivirus installed; including personal computers!
- For users with @gsu.edu email addresses (graduates being paid a stipend are considered staff) Cylance for Home is provided by GSU. For students without @gsu.edu email addresses there are many free antivirus suites such as Avast
- [OPTIONAL] If off-campus you first need to connect to the GSU virtual private network (VPN)
- Search Start Menu for “Run” and open the Run app
- Enter \\fs.ni.gsu.edu\yourShare substituting yourShare with your PI’s last name (for example: \\fs.ni.gsu.edu\Doe) and click OK
- When prompted to authenticate enter your username as GSUAD\yourCampusID and password (for example: GSUAD\jdoe)
DO NOT check “Remember my credentials” as Window’s poor management of saved credentials can have your personal computer incorrectly flagged as an attacker when your campus ID password changes
