The UTSA I: Drive is a central location on the UTSA network that allows faculty and staff members to store business-related documents.

How to access I: Drive

Accessing the I: Drive from your Windows machine is quick and simple. Once you have logged in with your network account, simply click on the Start button from your desktop screen.

Next, click on "Explore." This will open up a new window that gives you access to all the drives on your computer. Click on the item ending in "(I:)" to access the I: Drive folders.

Locate the folder with your department’s name to view your folders.

Access the I: Drive from home or off-campus

UTSA Faculty and staff can access the I: Drive from an off-campus location by using the VPN. For more information on VPN or to log on, visit the VPN site.

If you have Panther (Mac OS X 10.3.x) or higher, you can use either of two UTSA custom Mac applications to quickly connect to your I: Drive folder.

First, download UTSALink. UTSALink allows you connect to the campus I: Drive folders as well as the campus network repository for Mac software which is named Mac Updates. Included are instructions for making the connection by dragging the UTSALink icon into your hard drive.

The download also includes instructions for downloading and installing the campus license version of Virex, the anti-virus software. Instructions are included with the download.

Also available is UTSA Auto Backup which can help you configure your Mac to connect to the I: Drive folder when you log in and/or create an automatic backup routine that will copy items you select to a disk image stored in your I: Drive folder. Instructions are included with the download.

The Office of Information Technology will furnish Mac OS X version 10.3 (Panther) or higher for eligible UTSA Macs. Call Laine Lee at 7319 or the OIT Support Services (Help Desk) at 5538 for information.

If you have OS X 10.2 or higher, you can connect to your campus network storage volume using Rendezvous. Click here for instructions.
