As the semester gets underway, you will most likely start saving many documents. There are various places where you can save your files, including your H: Drive and S:Drive (if applicable).
Your eGCC username and password are required to access these resources. If you do not know your username and password, please see eGCC Account Information.
What is my H:\ Drive?
This is your personal space on the network, and is also where you would place the files needed for your personal webspace. If you do not have a USB Flash Drive or a floppy disk at the moment, you can save your files to this space and they will be there the next time you log in. Each eGCC user is initially allocated approximately 100MB of useable personal storage space.
What is My S:\ Drive?
Also known as the "Courses" folder or "Shared", this drive is where some of your course's file folders are located. These folders typically contain files needed to complete homework assignments, class notes, or PowerPoint slides, all placed by the instructor.
NOTE 1: Not all courses have a course folder. Please contact your instructor for information regarding any course folders.NOTE 2: If your instructor has placed copies of course documents in a shared folder for the semester, there is no need to copy them permanently to your personal space. You can access them from the course folder easily enough, even from off-campus if you have an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Please see "Working Off Campus" for directions. If you decide to save those files, consider using one of the removable mediums discussed in the section called "Saving Data".
NOTE 3: Under normal circumstances, you are not allowed to save to the S:\ Drive at all. Some courses, such as CIS105, will require you to turn in your assignments by saving your documents there. Please talk to your instructor to get instructions on how to save your assignments to your S:\ drive, if that is a requirement of you course.
