Whether you need to store classified information, or just need file access from multiple locations, Princeton's personal and Departmental network drives are built with security in mind.
Approved Classification Levels
The University's Central File Server (CFS) is approved for the storage of all data classification levels.
Personal and Departmental Storage
- Personal H: Drive: CFS facilitates easy sharing, moving, and storage of your personal files from any location. The H: Drive includes up to 5GB* of storage for students, faculty, and staff. Connect to your CFS H: Drive using a Mac or Windows device.
- Departmental M: Drive: To support departmental and cross-departmental file-sharing and collaboration, OIT also provides a separate departmental drive. Learn more about the M: Drive, including how to connect.
Security: Setting Permissions & Locking Your Drive
When you store information on your H: or M: Drive, it is important to limit unauthorized access.
- Windows users may create an Access Control List to limit who may view or access files
- Mac or Linux users can also set permissions to limit Drive access
