What is CSUMBInfo M:Drive
CSUMBINFO is the campus' legacy internal department file storage system, and contains folders for each department. Each Department Folder contains a Public, and Private sub folder.
- By default, all Staff and Faculty have access to the 'M' Drive and connect to it automatically when logging in to one of our PC's on Campus.
- Documents placed in the 'Department\Public' folder are available to anyone with access to CSUMBINFO.
- Documents placed in the 'Department\Private' folder are only accessible to members of that department who have been granted access via an IT Ticket Request.
- Each individual user is limited to 2GB of space on CSUMBINFO.
