Accessibility & LanguageQ Drive
What is the Q: Drive?
The Q:Drive is an area of file storage on the campus network which is made available to staff to facilitate distribution of files to students.
- Note: If staff wish to share files in a collaborative way with other staff, it is recommended that the M:Drive is used.
Additional Information
Why might I use the Q: Drive?
Using the Q: Drive can simplify the distribution of e.g. lecture notes to students. Files placed onto the Q: Drive can be read and copied by students, but not modified or deleted. Students are advised to take a copy of the file from the Q: Drive to their own personal network storage space (U: Drive) before attempting to edit it.
How do staff request access to write to the Q:Drive?
Contact the Service Desk to log a support ticket for write access to the Q:Drive (please specify the folder name). Please note that students will not be granted write access to Q Drive folder.
How do I access the Q: Drive in the PC Suites?
To access the Q: Drive in the PC Suites, double-click the Q: Drive icon in the ZENworks Applications Window. An Explorer window displaying the Q:Drive contents will open and drive Q: on your computer will be mapped to the Q: Drive on the network for the remainder of that logged-in session.
How do staff access the Q:Drive from their desktop computer?
Staff need to manually connect to the Q Drive.
