Not sure what’s the best way to store or share information on campus?

Sometimes a shared network folder is not the best choice, and other resources on campus may be better suited to support your intentions. We suggest that you contact Melissa Miszkiewicz (878-4611) for a consultation.

Note: If you have a legitimate reason for needing additional space on your personal network folder or Web folder, please call the Computing Help Desk (878-4357), or e-mail chd@buffalostate.edu.
