3. Choose which drive letter is free and you would like to use from the Drive box.
4. To connect to your Home drive in the Folder box type: 

• All Campuses except Ipswich students - \\soefile\s1234567 (insert your username instead of s1234567) 
• Ipswich Campus students - \\uqistudent\s1234567 (insert your username instead of s1234567) 
• Gatton campus students - \\UQGfile\s1234567$ (insert your username instead of s1234567)

5. To connect to your school’s G drive type the path to the share pertaining to your school in the folder box :

• Faculty Office \\UQGshared\FacultyOffice
• Vets \\UQGshared\vet
• Vets Shared \\UQGshared\vetshared
• Vets Clinic Diagnostic \\UQGShared\SVS-Clinic-Diagnostic
• SAFS \\UQGshared\SAFS
• SAFS \\UQGshared\SAFS_Shared

6.  To connect to the campus M drive

• \\UQGshared\AllStaff

8. Enter your UQ username and password (inserting UQ\ in front of your username) at the next prompt.
9. Your data storage area will now be mapped.

Note:  If choosing to map your network drive on startup your computer will always look for this drive whether you are connected to the Internet or not. If not connected to the Internet, there will be a message saying not all your network drives could be connected. This is not a problem, as it is preferable to having to map your drive every time you want to access it.

To Disconnect:  Double click on the padlock icon in the taskbar. This will open a VPN Client Staus box. Click on the Disconnect icon on the top left.
