If you have lost access to the N:\ drive either after restarting your computer or while using it, try following this guide.

PLEASE NOTE

If you are off campus you must first run the VPN to be able to access these files. Refer to the article  Network Drive: Accessing the N drive from off campus

 

Step-by-step guide

  1. Open File Explorer

    Windows 10Windows 7

     

  2.  In the address bar type in \\austin.utexas.edu\disk\law and press enter.


     
  3. If you drag a folder to "Quick access" (Windows 7 - "Favorites") using this method, the shortcut will continue to function even if the N:\ drive does not appear.

A much better alternative to using the N drive is to switch to using UT Box instead. With Box your files will always be locally accessible or through a web browser and you do not need to use the VPN when off campus.

Box makes it much easier to move from machine to machine while retaining access to your files.

Some users understandably click on Network, however make sure you are not clicking on the Network icon, the N:\ drive will be listed in "This PC" (Windows 10) or "My Computer" (Windows 7).
