A Shared Drive is an area on the campus network that can be used to store and share files among individual users and departments. A Shared Drive can be set up for use by an entire department, multiple departments, groups of individual users, etc.

NOTE: You will need to Map to the Share Drive

To request a shared drive you will need to fill out a Shared Drive Request Form.

Shared drives will have a 500 MB limit.

Once a user reaches the 500 MB storage limit on your shared drive, the user will not be able to save new data and files to their shared drive. Before the user can save new data, the user must get below the 500 MB limit by moving files to their local PC or other media such as zip drives or CDs. Users can check the available space on their shared drives by using an application called Shared Drive Quota Check.

Users can also request additional Share drive storage space beyond the 500 MB limit.

Off-Campus

Users can access their Department Shares from off-campus locations through the Sinclair web portal, my.sinclair.edu.
