Accessing CU network drives while working from home

If you are outside CU campus network (I bet you are now) but want to access W-drive or H-drive or R-drive, you need to connect to CU VPN first. Then open “This PC” (a.k.a. My Computer or Windows Explorer) and enter in the address bar the following addresses:

 

  • W-drive:   \\coventry.ac.uk\csv\Students\Shared\EC\STUDENT\
  • H-Drive Students: \\coventry.ac.uk\csv\Students\Personal  (then check each folder inside to see in each of them your Documents folder is located, you won’t be able to see any others)
  • H-Drive Staff: \\coventry.ac.uk\csv\Staff\Personal  (then check each folder inside to see in each of them your Documents folder is located, you won’t be able to see any others)
  • R-Drive: \\coventry.ac.uk\csv\Research

You will need to authenticate with your CU username in this format:   COVENTRY\yourusername  and your CU password. If you want to make this “permanent” you can mount these folders on your Windows 10 PC by right-clicking on “This PC” –> More –> Map Network Drive –> enter one of these addresses -> check “Connect Using different credentials (if your PC is not CU computer)” –> enter username and password as described above.
