CoA Network Storage

 

One of the main Resources available to CoA Students is the file storage space on our network. There are a number of spaces available for different uses.

Home Directories

link: \\gtcoa.coa.ad.gatech.edu\users-grad\GTaccount

Home Directories are an additional storage area on the network provided by Coa-IT where you can store your data. When you log in this area is “mapped” to your H: drive in My Computer. Graduate students and under-graduate students storage areas are in different places on the network, as noted in the links above. At login to a CoA computer, your Home Directory is automatically mapped to the H: drive As on the Prism Share your home directory has size limit.

Hard Quota: undergrads - 2GB. Grads - 3GB.

Requests for additional disk space may be sent to helpdesk@coa.gatech.edu for evaluation.

Please note: If your major is not under the College of Architecture, you will not have a Home Directory on our network.
