Departmental Folders

In addition to the personal folders and drop boxes given to all members of the Haverford community, there is a departmental folder for each academic department.

The structure of the departmental folders mimics that of the personal folders.

• All members of your department, and the Administrative Assistants, can post, view, edit, or delete files in the private folder. Within this directory you have a subdirectory called dropbox_shortcut, for access to files others left for your departmental drop box.
• If you wish to show files to others at Haverford who are not in your department, you may put them in your public_readonly folder. Others will be able to view files in in this folder, but only department members and administrative assistants will be able to post, edit or delete these files.
• If you wish to share files with others at Haverford, you may put them in the department public_readwrite folder. Anyone with an account on the Storage server can able to read, post, edit and delete files in this folder.

Shared Group Folders

In addition to these default folders, departments needing space for small groups of specific people should talk to their liaison.

Note: Placing files in shared folders requires some amount of trust, as others will be able to edit or delete these files. Even though you know who else has access to these files, it is wise to keep backups of your shared files on your personal hard drive.
