MyDocs (J:)

AKA:  mydocs.csumb.edu, J:\ drive, Home Folder

Purpose: Each staff and faculty member has a folder on MyDocs (J:/) to keep files related to their work at CSUMB with a quota of 20GB.

Important files/data should be stored on MyDocs, not on your desktop, laptop computer or in email. You run the risk of losing important data and your data is less secure when you keep files on your computer. Files stored on your computer are not backed up and in the event of a computer malfunction, you could lose all of the data stored on your machine. 

There are no default folders in MyDocs, but you can create as many folders in MyDocs as you need and manage your files anyway you want. None of the folders your create or use are shared, so all of your data will be safe, secure and only available to you.

Services Offered: File Storage and SMB, Web Client

Quota: Staff and faculty are assigned 20GB of storage
