  2. Click on Go then Connect to Server.


  3. Type the server smb://nuff-frankel.nuff.ox.ac.uk/ followed by your unique folder path

    • If you wish to access the College 'H' drive, please instead type smb://nuff.ox.ac.uk/nuffieldcollege/
      This will give you access to Publicspace, plus any Teamspace folders you have security permissions for.
