What is EdShare?
EdShare is a new network file and print server available
to faculty, staff and students. EdShare is available from
computers in classrooms and labs on campus and available
through FTP from residence halls and off campus. EdShare
runs on Samba, a Linux based file and print server. All
students are granted an EdShare account when they are admitted
to the university.

What would I use EdShare for?
- Printing in the computer labs.
You must login to EdShare to print in any of the St. Edward's computer
labs.
- Storing files.
EdShare is a file server. You may store any files there. You may use
this space instead of floppy disks to store assignments.
- Backing up files.
EdShare is the ideal place to backup important assignments. Floppy
and zip drives may fail as may the hard drive on your personal computer.
EdShare is backed up nightly so your files will always be available.

How much file space do students
have available on EdShare?
All students automatically receive 250 MB of storage space on EdShare.
This storage space may be used to store files of any type.

do I access EdShare from the computer labs?

How do I access EdShare from
my residence hall room or from off campus?

How long will my files be
accessible via EdShare?

enroll at St. Edward's University. When your St. Edward's account is
ended your EdShare files will no longer be available.
