Info

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.

 

Check that you are not clicking on the Network icon, the N:\ drive will be listed in "This PC" (Windows 10) or "My Computer" (Windows 7).
