The Patriot Drive on-premise storage is part of the university’s departmental shared storage system. Network File Storage space is allocated to Mason departments to store and share files - primarily to facilitate Access databases and automated file transfers. Mason departments can request new Patriot Drive department shares that can be accessed by multiple Mason personnel. These are backed up daily. There are several levels of access for Patriot Drive shares.
