What is networked file space?

Network file space is a folder on the network which is available to all Evergreen staff and faculty by default, and for students by request. Students can request file space through my.evergreen.edu.

Why use it?

  • The floppy disk in your back pack will quit working some day.
  • You will inevitably lose your thumbdrive (flashdrive) somewhere.
  • 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 are safe.
  • Files saved on servers are accessible from all campus computers. You can also access them from home.
