How to Use the Group Folders

Many teachers have a folder listed in a shared Groups Folder that allows convenient electronic transfer of files.

Access to the folders:

• From a Dell, open My Computer / Groups on ‘sofs02’ / Class_Folders

• From a Mac, when you log in, the Groups icon should show up on your desktop. 
• Open it and select Class_Folders.

Access a file in a teacher's folder

• Double-click on the file. This will launch the appropriate application and open it as a 'read-only file.' You cannot save the file back into the teacher's folder, but if you select Save As, you can save it in your folder.
• You can also drag the file from its location to your desktop or documents folder.

Access to Group Folders from home

• The Group Folders are not accessible from outside the ASD firewall. You cannot access them from home.

To Turn in a File

• Make sure that the file that you wish to turn in has your name in the filename.
• Make sure that two windows are open: your own documents folder and the teacher's group folder
• Drag the file from your folder to the Hand In folder. In Windows, you will see a little + next to the icon, meaning that you are making a copy of the file. When you let go, you will get a warning that you won't be able to see the copy; click OK.
• You are done.
