What is Home Drive?
Overview
- Why: You want to back up your files onto the UBC network, but you do not need to share them with others.
- Features: Home Drive is a private file storage service that is specifically meant for personal use. This service works just like a USB, except your files will be backed up once they have been copy and pasted into the drive. It is only available to UBC employees with an active employee ID and Enterprise Active Directory (EAD) account.
- Pricing: Free for UBC employees for up to 20GB. Paid options for additional space.
