File Space Overview
From Help Wiki
Student shares created this way are located on a server called Orca.
Faculty and staff will continue to use network file space on the server Hurricane.
If you are a student in the Media Arts, you may also have filespace available on Nimrod. Space on this server is available only through your academic program.
Why use it?
- You might lose your thumbdrive (flashdrive).
- If your hard drive stops working, you might not be able to extract your files from it.
- Evergreen's servers are backed up every 24 hours, which means your data is safe.
- Files saved on servers are accessible from all campus computers. You can also access them from home using the secure WebDAV protocol.
