Map Network Drives

1. Right-click on "This PC" on your desktop. Select "Map Network Drive."

2. In the Drive drop-down list, select a drive letter not in use by your computer, such as J:.  In the Folder field, enter the server name and your username as described below.

  • Faculty and Staff
    • To access Personal Drive: \\fileserv3.hh.nku.edu\username$ 
      • Include "$" after your username
    • To Access Department Drives: \\hh.nku.edu\Departments$
      • Users with their network drive previously mapped using \\fileserv3.hh.nku.edu\Departments$ will need to update the mapping
      • Access to Personal Drives (J Drive) will not be affected
      • Remember to include "$" after "Departments"
    • To access Web Drive: \\sappho.nku.edu\username
      • Do not include “$” after your username
  • Students
  • If you are using a non-NKU computer:
    • Check “Connect using different credentials" at the bottom of the window, and enter “nku\” before your username
      • For example:
        • "\\fileserv3.hh.nku.edu\username$"
        • When prompted for your username, enter "nku\username"

3. The network drive will show in a new window.
