How do I use NetStorage?

 

To access your H drive, G:Share drive, and any other shared network drives you have, just follow these steps below.

1. Go to http://netstorage.millikin.edu in your web browser.
2. You will be presented with a login screen.
3. Login with your typical network username and password, just like if you were in a computer lab. After this has been completed, you will be then taken to your folder list. (Note that your drive list will vary depending on what drives you have access to.) If you are a faculty or staff member, your username will be in a different format. Click here to see how to format your username.
4. Click on the + next to the folder that starts out Home@Millikin_Tree; you will be able to see your list of files and folders.
5. To copy a file to your home directory: Select the directory you want to upload the file to by clicking on the directory you want the file uploaded to. In this example, I’m uploading the file to the root of my H drive. Hover your mouse pointer over File. You will then get a drop-down menu with your options listed.
6. Click on Upload… The upload window will open.
7. Click on the Browse button, then navigate to your H drive, you must first download it to your computer, then work on it, and finally upload it again
8. To download a file from your H drive, click on the file you want to download, then go to file -> download. A window will appear asking you where you would like to save the file to.
9. Click on the save button. You will then be presented with a dialog box as to where to save the file to. Select the folder where you want to save the file, then click OK.
10. When you are done working with your files, you will need to log out of NetStorage. To do this, either go to file -> logout, or click on the exit button at the top of the screen (it looks like a door.) After you have successfully logged out, you will be given a screen which tells you that you have successfully logged out.
11. Whenever you need to work with a file, you will need to download the file, edit it, then upload the file again. The NetStorage window provides for several additional functions you can use, such as creating directories, renaming files and directories, and deleting files and directories. These functions work pretty much the same way that the other functions mentioned above do.
