Networked Disk Storage (Samba)
Samba provides file and printer sharing for staff and students. After Samba login, users can save files on our Networked Disk Storage (Samba) server. There is quota limitation to ensure a fair use of computing storage and not overwhelming the computing resources.
Samba Login, Network Drives and Quota
When the Windows is booted up, the login screen pops up as shown:

| O: | You can store your temporary files here (purge daily) |
| S: | Common share drive for departments |
