U Drive Tutorial
Beginning Fall 2008, students and faculty will be able to store documents on the U: drive and easily access this drive from the PC Labs, home, and offices. You will be using your PC Lab account (student email account, faculty PC Lab account) to login.
Note to Macintosh users:
Some APPLE written applications, such as KeyNote, actually consist of multiple underlying files. In order to successfully upload a file created in a program like KeyNote, right-click on the file(s) and select "Make archive" or "Compress" depending on the version of Mac OS you are running. Then upload the compressed version of the file.
