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\<scannerfolder>

Please be sure the path used is \\researchdata2.uct.ac.za\cubic-uct\<scannerfolder> and not //researchdata2.uct.ac.za/cubic-uct/<scannerfolder>.
Windows uses backslashes ( \ ) when dealing with file paths and will not connect properly if forward slashes ( / ) are used.

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.
