Note: With the Domain Migration and change to the new DFS Permissions on File Explorer on Windows, there shouldn't be any more manual J or S drive mapping. However the drive mapping on MacOS has always been a manual drive map.
Issue
The S or J drives do not show up on a GRCC MacOS device.
Environment
- MacOS
- Shared Network Drive (J or S Drives)
Resolution
- Ensure that you are on the desktop to activate Finder as the active Application.
- Click on the background image
- Press Command + K
- To Add the J: Drive:
- Type folder path smb://in.grcc.edu/Users/HomeDir/(username)
- To add the S: Drive:
- Type folder path smb://SS00.in.grcc.edu/Shared
- Check the box to save the configuration
- The drive should now show on the desktop
- For easier future access, add each of these folders to the 'Sidebar'.
- With the network folder open,
- Select File from the toolbar along the top
- Select Add to Sidebar
- Alternate shortcut CTRL+CMD+T
- Once they are added to the Sidebar, you can drag them up to the "Favorites" section.
