What is my home directory?
Your home directory (often referred to as the "H Drive") is essentially your own network storage space. You can save files there, just like you would save files to a floppy disk or a hard drive.
Your home directory can be accessed from any computer that has a network connection, even one that's off campus.
Home directories are backed-up daily, making them a good supplement to floppy or zip disks. You can use it to store a second back-up copy of your important files, in case your floppy or zip disk should fail.
What can I use my home directory for?
This storage space is intended to help you store and back-up data for classes, projects, and academic research. Some examples of file types you might store there are:
Is there a limit to how much data I can store?
How can I see how much space I'm using?
WITS has a utility
on the web that will show you how much data you have stored in your home directory.

How do I get a home directory?
Your home directory will automatically be created when you sign up for a new Willamette email/network account. This applies to all Willamette students, staff, faculty, and guests.
