Students, faculty, and staff with a Mills account can save personal files on the 'myfiles' file server.

IMPORTANT: this procedure is not required if you are using college-owned computers in Computing Services labs. Simply log in to the computer and double-click the icon with your username on the desktop to access your 'myfiles' storage space.  Be sure to log out of the computer when you are finished to protect your files from being accessed by the next person to use the computer.

Connecting to myfiles.mills.edu

1.  If you are using a wireless computer or personal computer in your residence hall room, be sure to log in via Bluesocket first.

• Open Safari.
• Use your Mills username and password to log in at the Bluesocket interface.
• Once you are logged in, keep the Bluesocket browser window active, as you will need to log out using that window.
• IMPORTANT - When finished with network access, log out via the Bluesocket window.

Note: If there is no Bluesocket icon active, close all Safari windows and then reopen Safari. This should prompt a small Bluesocket window to come up displaying a Logout command.

2.  From the 'Go' menu, select 'Connect to Server.'

3.  In the window that opens, type 'smb://myfiles.mills.edu' (no quotes) in the 'Server Address:' field.  To add this server to your list of 'Favorite Servers,' click the '+' icon to the right of the 'Server Address:' field.
