Network File Share

What Is It?

Active Directory Network Storage (ADNS) is a file-sharing resource through which departments can store their files on a file server. This service provides a highly redundant, highly available, fully backed-up storage of departmental files. This resource is made available to users whose departments have requested disk space.

Other Service Names

ADNS, Active Directory Network Storage, Network Drive

Features

• Disk space is offered at free for College of Education users.
• The files are stored on a server and Network Attached Storage (NAS) cluster, and users can access their files from multiple computers.
• Excluding extreme circumstances, it is our goal to have your files available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Requirements

• Your computer must be on the UIC campus network (either on-campus or connected through the VPN) to connect to ADNS shares.
• You have an active UIC account that has been granted access to one or more ADNS shares.
• You must connect from a computer that supports connecting to SMB file shares. This functionality is built in to most modern operating systems.
