1: Double click on "Macintosh HD" on your desktop.

3: enter in the "cifs://cg-employee" in the Server Address box and press "connect"

5: Under the dropdown box choose WKSPACE and press "OK"

Macintosh computer users (OS X 10.4 or later) who save files to their network workspace can save quota space by using archived (or "zipped") folders to store or archive files or folders. Your quota is the maximum amount of diskspace usage you are allowed on the CGCC network file servers. You cannot upload files to your network workspace while you are over quota.

A quick and easy way to archive is to control-click the files or folders you would like archived and choose Create Archive from the contextual menu. Your new compressed folder appears as an icon with a zipper.

To access the files or folders in an archived folder, double-click on the archived folder. The original uncompressed file or folder will appear. When you place a file in an archived folder, the file is automatically compressed. A file that is moved from an archived folder is automatically uncompressed.

You can then move the archived folder to your network drive space, replacing the original unarchived files with the archived versions.

The compression/uncompression algorithm works with both the Windows and Macintosh operating systems. This means Mac users can share archived folders with Windows users. 

Unlike compressed folders in Windows XP, archived files or folders cannot be password protected.

Windows XP users who save files to their network workspace, either the I: or L: drives, can save quota space by using compressed (or "zipped") folders to store or archive files or folders. Your quota is the maximum amount of diskspace usage you are allowed on the CGCC network file servers. You cannot upload files to the I: or L: drives while you are over quota.

A quick and easy way to create a compressed folder is to right-click on the Desktop and choose New, and then click Compressed (zipped) Folder in the contextual menu. Type a name for the new compressed folder, and then press the Enter key. Your new compressed folder appears as a folder icon with a zipper.

Moving files and folders to or from the compressed folder you just created works the same as with normal uncompressed folders by dragging & dropping files or folders to the compressed folder. When you place a file in a compressed folder, the file is automatically compressed. A file that is moved from a compressed folder is automatically uncompressed.

You can then move the compressed folder to your network drive space (I: or L: drive), replacing the uncompressed files with the compressed versions.

Files and folders in compressed folders can be password protected. To password protect the contents of a compressed folder, follow the steps below:

1. Double-click the compressed folder that you want to password protect and on the File menu, click Add a Password.
2. In the Password and Confirm Password fields, type the password that you want to use and then click OK.

WARNING:
The password for a password-protected compressed file is not recoverable. If you lose the password, you will be unable to access that file.
