About I: Drive:
The UT San Antonio I: Drive is a central location on the legacy UT San Antonio network that allows faculty and staff to store confidential business-related documents in a shared departmental drive. Each user also has a private, individual folder. The I: Drive is intended for category I data.
Each user has their own individual folder as well that is only accessible by that user.
Users may access both their departmental I: Drive and their personal folder from off-campus by using the UT San Antonio VPN.
