Mapping to a network drive allows your computer to access a shared storage location on a network, and you can access files and folders on that drive as if they were on your local computer. This article shows how to map your Turing drive to your Windows or MacOS devices.

Summary

Mapping to a network drive allows your computer to access a shared storage location on a network, and you can access files and folders on that drive as if they were on your local computer. This article shows how to map your Turing drive to your Windows or MacOS devices.

• For Windows Devices
• For MacOS Devices

 

How-To

Note: Off-campus users need to connect to the GlobalProtect VPN before following these instructions.

Instructions

Step 1 - Open File Explorer from the taskbar or the Start menu, or press the Windows logo key  + E.

 

Step 2 - On the left side of the Windows Explorer window, click on "This PC"

 

Step 3 - At the top of the window, click the tab named Computer, and then click "Map network drive". Select "More" , and then Map network drive if you are running Windows 11.

   

 

Step 4 - Type \\turing.plymouth.edu\username in the "Folder:" box, and make sure that "Connect using Different Credentials" is checked. Click Finish.

 

Step 5 - A small window should pop up asking for your myPlymouth credentials. You should enter your username@ad.unh.edu and myPlymouth password.*

*Please note that entering your username@ad.unh.edu is not what most PSU services require to login. This is due to changes in the way that Turing is mapped.

 

Step 6 - If you have successfully done these steps, a new window should open. This folder is your Turing drive!
