Mapping Network Drives in Windows

If you are mapping these drives from Southern's WiFi or off campus, you will first need to connect to Southern's VPN. 

Step 1: Right click on "This PC" in File Explorer and select "Map Network Drive."

Windows 10

Windows 11


Step 2: Select a drive letter.




Step 3: Type the folder path for the drive you are mapping.

H drive path: \\ellis.intranet.southern.edu\home\yourusername
I drive path: \\oswald.intranet.southern.edu\yourdepartment *see list of department folders below
J drive path: \\ellis.intranet.southern.edu\everyone

Step 4: Check the "Reconnect at logon" box.

Step 5: Select "Finish."
If you are asked to log on, type sau\ before your username.

Repeat these steps for each drive you need to map. If you work for more than one department and need access to multiple "I drives", just choose a different letter for each additional department drive. Any available drive letter will work.
