Your H: drive will have an upper limit of 4GB. If you need more than this then ISS ask that you consider using their “Home Archive Service”. If you are nearing your H: drive limit then you may have received an automated message from ISS about this subject.<\/p>\n
It can be thought of as a second H: drive, providing you with 20GB of additional storage. The one condition ISS set is that this new storage area can only accept compressed files, typically called zipped files.<\/p>\n
In other words, your H: drive would remain as your primary storage but you would move less frequently accessed files\/folders from your H: drive to your new 20GB area. Those files would be compressed\/zipped before you moved them there.<\/p>\n
All our University Common Desktop PCs can compress files\/folders instantly, via right-clicking on the file\/folder in question and following the “7zip” option in the menu. Choose the option “Compress to <name of your file or folder>.zip”.<\/p>\n
This feature is available on Macs (right-click your file\/folder and choose ‘Compress …’) and Linux – you can use the command line or simply right-click and use the ‘Compress…’ option.<\/p>\n
To apply for this service, click on:\u00a0https:\/\/crypt.ncl.ac.uk\/helpdesk\/home-archive ISS will send you a detailed set of instructions. For Windows users, you are simply going to map a new drive. You will be asked to choose a letter to represent your new 20GB of storage. We ask that you avoid using Z, W, T, S and R, as these are reserved by the Institute.<\/p>\n Mac users should not feel left out! We need to convert the address ISS give you into something that your Mac understands, and we are happy to help with this.<\/p>\n Using both your H: drive and your new (archived) storage efficiently, you will have a combined total of 24GB of storage.
