102 - Was sind Projektlaufwerke (Institutional Cloud Storage) und wie kann ich darauf zugreifen?

Project drives (Institutional Cloud Storage) can be created for collaboration and data exchange with other users. Similar to how each user has a personal storage space (Personal Cloud Storage), it is possible to allocate chairs or individual projects storage space. This can then be shared by a user group managed by a chair administrator. Access rights can be assigned to the shared areas on a fine-grained basis. Please note the information on the sensible use of a project repository as well as the limits of its use.

Faculties or central institutions normally already have their own shared storage. If you want to use a project directory, please contact the IT support of your institution or, if known, your responsible chair administrator. To access the storage, see Accessing the Storage apply analogously.

The project repository is structured based on the organizational structure of the institution. Here at the example of the TUM:

The storage space of a faculty or a central institution can be further subdivided for chairs, departments or special projects. This division is the responsibility of the faculty administrator (also: Information Officer - IO) of the faculty or a representative designated by him. The area for a chair, for example, is given a three-digit abbreviation and receives its own quota. The central administration (abbreviation: ZV) of the TUM (abbreviation: TU) can be reached e.g. at \\nas.ads.mwn.de\tuzv. It has a subunit "Zentrale Abteilung 7 - EDV" with the abbreviation "ZA7" and the share name "TUZVZA7$". The storage area for file storage "TUZVZA7$" can be reached in two ways:

• Via the share \\nas.ads.mwn.de\tuzv of the setup central administration. The storage area of the "ZA7" subunit is then visible here as a folder named "za7".
• Likewise, the "direct" address of the share of the subunit "ZA7" can be specified: \tuzvza7$.ads.mwn.de.
