If you cannot connect to your groups share folder then please contact the Help Desk for access.

Faculty Groups Share Path:

G: \\oit-nas-fe11.oit.duke.edu\fuq-grps-faculty

Staff Groups Share Path:

G: \\oit-nas-fe11.oit.duke.edu\fuq-grps-staff\”group name”

Directions for mapping network drives for the G: drive on Windows 10 devices:

  1. If you are not on the Fuqua or DukeBlue network, you must connect to the Fuqua VPN first.
  2. Click on Start and click Computer.
  3. In the Computer window, click on Map Network Drive at the top.
  4. In the Map Network Drive window, select the drive letter that best corresponds to the drive you are mapping. In this case, we are mapping a groups share drive so we will use drive letter G:
  5. In the Folder field, input the destination of the drive you are mapping. For our groups share drive we will input \\galaxy.fuqua.duke.edu\groups_staff$\”group name” (for staff) or \\galaxy.fuqua.duke.edu\groups_faculty$ (for faculty). Check “Reconnect at logon” and “Connect using different credentials” and click Finish.
  6. When the Windows Security window appears, input your NetID and password. Be sure to enter fuqua\NetID as your username.
  7. A new window will open displaying the contents of your new G: drive. Close this window and in the Computer window you will now see your new mapped drive listed.

Directions for mapping network drives on Mac OS X :

  1. If you are not on the Fuqua or DukeBlue network, you must connect to the Fuqua VPN first.
  2. In Finder, in the Go menu, select Connect to Server or type Command+K.
  3. In the Server Address field of the Connect to Server window enter “smb://” followed by the drive path. For example, to map your G: Drive (Groups Drive), enter the following: smb://galaxy.fuqua.duke.edu/groups_staff$/”group name” (for staff) or smb://galaxy.fuqua.duke.edu/groups_faculty$ (for faculty)
  4. Authenticate with your NetID and password. Placing a check in the box for “Remember this password in my keychain” will allow you to skip this step when reconnecting to the server.
  5. The server is now mounted to your desktop. If the icon is not showing up on your desktop or in the sidebar, change the Finder preferences.
  6. To disconnect from the share, drag its icon onto the trash icon in your Dock or select it and type Command+E. The trash icon will turn into an Eject icon as you move the share to it.
  7. The next time you want to connect to the server, from the Go menu, select Connect to Server or type Command+K. If the server address from step 2 doesn’t auto populate, click on the Recent Server drop-down menu and select the appropriate server to connect to.
