How do I get to my Z drive?

I heard every student has data storage space on the Johnson & Wales server. How do I access it?

Answer

Student Home Directories (Network Storage Space for Students)
Students are given access to a network drive space for class-related work. This drive is only accessible from campus computer lab machines and provides secure storage space for data which is backed up regularly.

Home drives show up as Z: when you log into the network on a computer lab machine. (double click “My Computer” on the desktop).
You cannot store illegal, or illegally obtained/copyrighted material on the drive.
The data stored there should be considered convenient "working copies" (nothing archival, or static in nature should be there).
The data is only available from the campus computer lab machines, it can't be accessed from home, ResNet, or the web.
