Warning

We will require all users to move their data from \\files, and the server as it will be shut down on July 1, 2025.


Geneseo maintains a number of various servers, each performing specific functions. Over time, server names have changed and it can be confusing as to where individuals should store or backup their files. In addition there have been some problems with users filling up their allocated disk space. This article provides recommendations as to where faculty, staff, and students should be storing files on the Geneseo servers.
