If the authentication was successful, you are able to access your data, by mapping a network drive:

• Click: Start > Computer > Map network drive (in the toolbar)

• In the "Map Network Drive window" choose an available drive letter from the dropdown list and type the name of the folder to map.

The folder can be any (accessible) path starting with \\afs

Examles (the shortcut \\afs\kip is also possible):

• for the top level view: \\afs\kip.uni-heidelberg.de

• for your Home directory: \\afs\kip.uni-heidelberg.de\user\<USERNAME>
