​Personal: the H: drive

If you login to a Mills PC, your personal folder is automatically assigned as your 'H' drive, H for home. Macs on OS 9 need to use the 'chooser' to find and connect. Macs on OS X use the 'Go/Server' feature.

Anyone wishing to create a personal website can do that on Myfiles. Use this link to request a personal website.

​Departmental: the M: drive

Faculty and staff, and student employees, have departmental storage on a server called 'millswork.'

All departments at Mills have a common folder structure. There are two files and three top-level folders in each department's folder.

• The 'department members' file documents all members of the department,
• The 'permissions' file documents who is allowed into each folder and with what permissions.
• The Dropboxes folder allows a department to offer folders in which others can drop off materials.
• The Restricted folder is restricted to members of the department ONLY.
• The Shared folder offers more flexibility. Any folder in your Shared folder is accessible to whomever you choose (student workers, staff/faculty from other departments, guests). Navigate to Departments/Human Resources/Shared for examples of how this works.

Only ITS staff can create top-level folders within the three main folders, but you can choose a mix of personal and collaborative folders and add subfolders and manage your files as you need.

If you login to a Mills PC, the 'departments' folder is automatically assigned as your 'M' drive, M for main-campus. Macs on OS X use the 'Go/Server' feature.
