Troubleshooting
The cubic server is no longer located at \\researchdata.uct.ac.za\cubic-uct. If you are struggling to connect please verify you are connecting to the correct address:
\\researchdata2.uct.ac.za\cubic-uct
Please be sure the path used is \\researchdata2.uct.ac.za\cubic-uct and not
//researchdata2.uct.ac.za/cubic-uct. Windows uses backslashes ( \ ) when dealing with file paths and will not connect properly if forward slashes ( / ) are used.
You only need to map the network drive once. If you are having trouble connecting, disconnect the old drive by right clicking on the drive in This PC and selecting Disconnect and then follow the instructions above.
