== Windows Network Drive ==

You can access your home and project directories by mounting `\\itet-stor.ee.ethz.ch\username` as a network drive in Windows. In this example, we will make `\\itet-stor.ee.ethz.ch\pmuster` available under the drive letter `S`.

If you do this from outside ETH, you need to establish a [[http://computing.ee.ethz.ch/Workstations/Network/VPN | VPN connection]] first.

Click the computer icon ("This PC") on the Windows desktop, then click the 'Map network drive' button from the upper ribbon bar of the opened folder window:

In the dialog box that appears, choose the drive letter you want to use for this mapping:

The URI to your folder is `\\itet-stor.ee.ethz.ch\YOUR-USERNAME`. In this example we have chosen `pmuster` as the username. Replace `pmuster` with your own ETH username (login name). Activate the checkbox "Connect using different credentials" and, if you desire it, set "Reconnect at sign-in" to make the network drive mapping persistent between computer reboots. Then click the "Finish" button.

A new dialog box opens to enter a password (do not yet enter the password there). Instead of entering a password, click "More choices":

Then click "Use a different account" (1). The window looks now as follows:

Fill in the username and password fields (2).
As username, enter `d\YOUR-USERNAME`, and as password, use your ETH password. When done, click the OK button. You can now access your personal `itet-stor` share in Windows Explorer under the previously chosen drive letter (`S:` in this example).
