4. This will open a dialog in which you input your university credentials. You may also want to check the box “Remember this password in my keychain” and click “Connect”
5. Once connected it will open a finder window displaying folders you have permission to access. To save (map) this connection for using later, go to the top menu bar and select Finder > Preferences.
6. In the “Finder Preferences” window check the “Connected Servers” box. This will create an icon for the shared drive you are connected on your Desktop. You can drag the icon to any place that helps you locate it in the future such as your dock.
