The H: drive is used for groups of individuals that wish to share files with other individuals. A hierarchy has been created for various divisions and committees to share files as well as groups of people to setup project folders. Folders on the H: drive are restricted to certain individuals. If you would like a new folder created on the H: drive or require access to an existing folder, please make contact with Saunders Technical Support and we will work with the owner of the folder to fulfill your request.

The H: drive is located at \\main.ad.rit.edu\Shares\SCB\SCB_Shared

P: Drive

The P: drive is used by individuals to save personal files in a safe and secure location. The P: Drive should be used instead of my Documents. P: drives are not shared with multiple users. This is what the H: drive is for. Each faculty and staff member is encouraged to store any important files on the P: drive. Because Saunders Technical Support does not backup individual workstations, by storing files on the P: drive, users do not need to worry should their computer fail.

The P: drive is located at \\main.ad.rit.edu\Shares\SCB\SCB_Personal\<your username>

Off Campus Issues

If are using a computer that is not managed by Saunders, then you'll need to use the RIT VPN Client to connect to our file servers.  All Saunders managed computers are configured so that VPN is not required from off campus.
