Mapping a group drive on a Mac

  • You need to either be connected on Eduroam wifi or have the UIS VPN connected

  • Click on the Finder icon in the Dock.

  • Click on the Go menu and choose “Connect to Server”.

  • Apple Mac’s need to use the SMB protocol to map group drives, so to convert the windows filepath you need to start the path with smb:// and convert all backslashes \ to forward slash /. eg \\blue.cam.ac.uk\Inst is converted to: smb://blue.cam.ac.uk/Inst

Troubleshooting

If you do not see your data immediately, restart your computer and check again. Sometimes it is visible immediately, sometimes it needs some time to synchronise and sometimes a PC needs a reboot to force the connection to the data.
