File Storage

What do I need to know about T-storage?

You have access to T-Storage. Windows users should have these drives mapped automatically. Mac users can access these drives by connecting to the following servers (http://oit2.utk.edu/helpdesk/kb/entry/1975/):

  • For your Home Directory: smb://tshome.utk.tennessee.edu/~
  • For your Departmental Share: smb://ra.utk.tennessee.edu/depts$
    **You can click the + after entering in the drive name to save the path for future use**

The library departmental files are located in Volume 14. Here is more helpful information from the August 31 OIT Weekly:

What is TStorage?
TStorage is file storage provided for all UTK faculty, staff, and students and is accessible from everywhere. Files are backed up regularly and best of all, you can restore files on your own. Your personal TStorage area is 25GB and is referred to as your home area or H: drive. Faculty and staff also have access to a departmental drive, known as your I: drive, based on your department’s organizational structure.

How to access TStorage

Both drives (H: & I:) will be automatically mapped at login

  • Departmental Machines or Computer Labs
