In order to see your data once it has been moved to IFS, you will need to map your group drives.
Please do not try to map your group drives, if you are not yet using a UMD (“University Managed Desktop”) computer (which can be a laptop); or you have been advised, by us (CSCS), that your machine is an “Assured Computer”.
Until you have access to the wired network, you will need to access data via the UIS VPN. Please note that working over the VPN is slower and you may experience delays opening and saving files. If they are unacceptably long please report the issue to the CSCS Service Desk including the group drive name, file name, date and time of access and how long it took.

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.
