Connect to your home directory as a network drive

You can only access your home directory from a PC that is inside the universities network (for example eduroam). If you want to access your files from “outside” you'll first need to establish a VPN connection. More on that can be found at VPN

Network Drive on Windows

Open a new window in File Explorer (e.g. win + E)
right-click on “Network” and select “Map network drive…”
in the new window choose an unoccupied drive letter and enter the following address (substituting “user.name” with your actual student username):
\\ug-uyst-fs.student.uni-goettingen.de\home\users\user.name
make sure to tick “Connect using different credentials”
After clicking “Finish” enter “ug-student\user.name” (again substituting “user.name” with your actual student username) as the username and your student password in the new window
A new window will open, showing your familiar home directory
