If you have a Mac and have access to a Group Drive you can use the following information to create a connection to the data. To start, you will need the path of the group drive which consists of a servername/name of the group drive. If you don't have this, contact our Service Desk or look at one of your colleagues' computers.
- Open Finder
- In the menu bar, click Go then Connect to Server
- Type in the following address of the drive replacing the server name and group drive name as appropriate
- smb://servername/groups$/groupdrivename
- Enter your username and password when prompted (the domain is MINTS, BIOSCI or SLCU depending on your domain membership)
- You should be connected to the drive and a volume icon will show up on your desktop (this will only be there until you restart the laptop, so you need to do 1 more step)
- To create an alias of the volume so that you can easily reconnect without repeating the steps, select the volume icon, go to the Finder menu bar and click File, then Make Alias
