Saving to Your Personal Drive

Students and faculty of Worcester State College are provided with personal network drive space to be used as a safe and secure location to save personal files. Files may be added to or retrieved from your personal network drive using any computer on the WSC campus. While different programs may have minor variations in the way a file is saved; the process of saving a file to your personal network drive will be the same for most programs.

• Create your file as normal.
• When you are ready to save your file, use the Save As… command.
  • In most programs, Save As… is located under the File menu (File > Save As…).
• This will open the Save As pop-up window.
• Click the drop-down arrow located in the Save in: field to view all the available drives.
• Click on your personal network drive in the drop-down listing, to select the drive as the location to save to.
  • Your personal network drive will be named “username”$, where “username” is your username.
• Enter a name for your file in the File name: field.
• Click the Save button or press Enter to save your file.
• The file has now been saved to your personal network drive.
