File Storage

Faculty/Staff

UNLV IT hosts and supports the following services for individual and departmental file storage:

Personal network storage for your files can be found on your Windows Y:\ drive. Files stored here are not accessible by others on campus. You can access your Y:\ drive by using your ACE account to sign in to your computer.

OIT offers shared network storage space where you can share files with your department, teams, or other colleagues. View your group file storage by signing on to your Windows computer with your ACE account and clicking on the X:\ drive.

Mac users can access personal and group file folders by adding a connection to the server. Contact the IT Help Desk for assistance.

You can access your X:\ and Y:\ drive files from off campus using Rebelfiles and signing in with your ACE account.

Students

You may need an easy way to transfer files between home, work and UNLV. With your free UNLV network storage space, you can access the same files, on or off campus.

After activating your ACE account, you'll receive 100 MB of storage space, commonly referred to as a Home Directory, on the network server.

  1. Go to a campus computer lab and log in with your ACE account.
  2. Double click the Home Directory icon located on the desktop.
  3. If the Home Directory icon is not available, open My Computer and click the Y:\ drive.

You can access files stored in home (Y:\), group (X:\), and classes (X:\) folders from any location that has internet access. Simply browse to Rebelfiles and login using your ACE account.

Mac users can access personal and group file folders by adding a connection to the server. Contact the IT Help Desk for assistance.

If you want to share files with a group of classmates, contact the IT Help Desk to set up a shared folder that will be accessible via the X:\ drive.
