 +Drives:
 +
 +  * **C: Primary local computer drive**  - no backup, no sharing among computers \\ (usually SSD disk - smaller capacity)
 +  * **D: Secondary local computer drive**  - no backup, no sharing among computers \\ (usualy HDD disk - bigger capacity, for manual backups, bigger data etc.)
 +  * **H: network mapped HOME drive**  network path: \\ (user may keep work documents here, it is mapped after logon according to user profile settings, regularly backed-up, LIMITED CAPACITY)
 +  * **Groups (G: or other letter) - network mapped drive ** It corresponds to **%%\\cerge-ei\groups\%%** path to shared directory - official documents for the respective agendas, shared in accordance to workgroup needs \\ (users should put official documents and data there, drive is regularly backed-up, drive has limited overall capacity)
 +  * **Departmental shares or individual shares**  - some departments / offices have set their own individual network shares (BGO, PR, IT etc.) where they should place data related to the internal agenda. These network shares are usualy tailored to the individual needs (capacity, access etc.)

Line 21: Line 32:
 **A mapped drive**  is a networked drive that is assigned a drive letter. For example, you may map a network drive to the H: drive in Windows. After the drive is mapped, when looking at available drives you'll see an H: drive that looks like all other drives on your computer. Accessing the H: drive would open the network path. **A mapped drive**  is a networked drive that is assigned a drive letter. For example, you may map a network drive to the H: drive in Windows.

 +Each needed shared directory should be mapped first, see: [[public:map_network_drive|Map Network Drive (Shared Folder) in Windows]]
