Mapping or Mounting TeamShare in Microsoft Windows

Note: In order to access TeamShare from a non-UBC internet connection, you must be connected to the myVPN service first.
Note: What you see on your screen may differ from the illustrations, depending on your version of Microsoft Windows.

If you are using a Microsoft Windows computer that is a member of the EAD domain, your IT administrator may have setup automatic mappings to TeamShare.

Microsoft Windows computers that are not members of the EAD domain will require the Home Drive to be mapped manually.

To map TeamShare, please follow these steps below:

  1. On Windows 10, open File Explorer. Select This PC from the left pane. Then, on the Computer tab, select Map network drive.



    On Windows 7, in your Windows Start menu, right-click Computer and select Map Network Drive


     
  2. Select an available drive letter.

    map drive

     
  3. In the Folder field enter \\files.ubc.ca\team\department ID
     
  4. Reconnect at logon - Select this option if you want this drive to be mapped each time you login to Windows. Note: you will not have off-campus access to this drive until you connect via myVPN.
