Desktop and My Documents in Labs
If you are working in any of the student teaching labs in the Faculty of Engineering (ACEB 1400, ACEB 2400, ACEB 2415, ACEB 2435, ACEB 2440, ACEB 3420, ACEB 3435, ACEB 4415, ACEB 4435, ACEB 4440, SEB 1004, TEB 454) including Departmental user labs, your Desktop and My Documents folders are redirected to network storage space on your P:\ drive. P:\ is backed up by ITG nightly. There is a 60-day retention of the data that can be restored upon request to enghelp@uwo.ca . There is 50GB limited space for all students for these redirected folders. The redirection is for your protection, so you don't lose anything.
When Working in Other Locations
We highly recommend that you save your files specifically to OneDrive where you have 1TB of available space, https://myoffice.uwo.ca or https://uwoca-my.sharepoint.com/personal/username_uwo_ca so you know where to find them when working in other locations both on and off campus. Graduate Students can request more space for research data by contacting enghelp@uwo.ca . All students also have an H:\ drive with 5GB of space available.
