In order to access your UNIX disk space in Mac OS, you must first map the drive in Mac OS.

1. Open Finder.
2. Click Go > Connect To Server.
3. Enter Server Address as cifs://storage;netid@storage.albany.edu/netid replacing netid with your actual NetID both times.
4. Click "Connect".
5. Mac OS will attempt to connect to the drive.
6. If you are prompted for your Workgroup/Domain, Name, and Password, enter "storage" for the Workgroup.  Enter your NetID for the Name.  Enter your UNIX password.
7. "Remember my Password in my Keychain" box:
      If you are using your personal computer, you can check "Remember my password in my keychain" so that you won't need to retype this each time. 
      If you are using a public computer, or other people may use your computer, leave this box unchecked.

Once the drive is mapped, you can access the storage the same as you would access any hard drive or network drive (i.e. you can drag/drop files, etc.).  The drive will appear on your desktop as well.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE

To use this service, you must first login to WebMail to establish your account connection credentials.  If you reset your UNIX account password, you will need to login to WebMail to establish the new password.  (For Faculty/Staff members who do not use WebMail, you will need to login to your UNIX account once via SSH.)

Your UNIX account has a quota of 100MB.  You will not be able to store more than that in your account. 

For UNIX users - be careful not to delete your "dot files" (files whose names begin with a "." - for example, .cshrc, .login, etc.).  These files are important for the proper functioning of your UNIX account and shell sessions.  (These files are hidden by default on most Windows systems, but visible within the UNIX system.)
