Map a Network Folder

1.) Open Finder and then on the top of your screen click Go, then click Connect to Server...

2.) Enter smb://shares.dfci.harvard.edu/<NAME> where <NAME> is your folder. My username is 'brian' so I'll enter it as such to get my home dir:

3.) Enter your account credentials to authenticate to the server and click Connect to map the folder.

4.) Done! You should now see the same contents that you'd see in your home directory across our Unix servers.

1.) Open File Explorer and right click This PC to select Map network drive...

2.) Enter the folder path (starting with two backslashes \\) and replace 'folder' with the directory you plan to map, e.g. your home folder.

• The first part is always: \\shares.dfci.harvard.edu\

• NOTE: If you have additional folders to map from the \\shares server and you're repeating these steps while an existing connection to another \\shares folder exists, you must NOT select "Connect using different credentials" at this step!

3.) Enter your Windows server username with the prefix "BCB\" (note the backslash → \ ← as this is different from a regular forward slash! See screenshot below for example format).

 
*To reset your BCB password if forgotten, contact us for assistance.

4.) Your folder should now be mapped! You can find your folder on the left-hand pane under the drive letter you assigned it (e.g. Z:\ ).
