- examples:
- Orca students = https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/homes/students
- Orca programs = https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/academics/programs/yourprogramfolder
- Hurricane = https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/homes/fac-staff/first-letter-of-username/username
- Hurricane = https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/offices/yourgroupfolder/"yoursubfolder"
- Orca groups = https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/academics/acadgroups/yourgroupfolder
- Orca research = https://myfiles.evergreen.edu/academics/research/yourresearchfolder
- Note: you can also access this space from a web browser but you will not be able to write files back to the server only read.
- Click Connect
- Log in with your Evergreen account.
- Select the folder you'd like to connect to (e.g. the first letter of your last name, or the name of your program or group).
- Click OK

Note: Your firewall software might block the connection to the remote fileshare. If you can't connect to the filespace and have double-checked the instructions, you might need to add a firewall exemption for the fileshare.
Note: If you still can not connect you might also try following the instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1629 .
