File Storage For Students - Timmy

To help students with file management, we have created a file server for student and student organization use. The server (named "Timmy") has many advantages:

• Can be accessed on or off campus (see instructions below).
• Allows students to store up to 200 MB of data.
• Is secure - You will be able to see other student folders, but you are the only one who can access your files.
• Is backed up nightly.

How to Get a Timmy Folder:

• For students: Timmy folders are created automatically for all students. See instructions in the knowledge base for how to access your folder.
• For student organizations: To request a Timmy folder for your student organization, contact the TAC.

Storage Guidelines - Dos and Don'ts

DO:

• Store school-related documents on Timmy (*.docx, *.xlsx, *.pptx, etc.)
• Check your Timmy files on a periodic basis and remove files you no longer need.

DON'T:

• Store music, images or videos unless they are school-related.
• Back up your entire computer. These types of "back up" files should be saved to an external hard drive, a USB drive or burned to a CD/DVD.
• Store CD/DVD images of software (no *.iso or *.dmg files).
