How to Map a Network Drive (U and S drives)
NOTE: Accessing UDrive and SDrive in this manner is not available from non-FIT networks (off campus) due to security issues. For access from non-FIT networks (Off Campus Access), please see the following FAQ: How can I access my UDrive?

- Open File Explorer.
- Left-click "This PC" on the left side of the window, then right-click "Map network drive..."
- In the Map Network Drive window, select the drive letter from the dropdown list adjacent to Drive. Note: The selected letter is a personal choice and will not impact the ability to map a shared folder.
- Type the name of the location of the folder to be mapped:
- For UDrive \\udrive.fit.edu\[TRACKS]. (for example: \\udrive.fit.edu\exampleusername)
- For SDrive \\sdrive.fit.edu\foldername
- Check the checkbox for "Connect using different credentials"
- Click Finish button in the Map Network Drive window
