Departmental File Storage 

 Bear1 Common -- Departmental File Storage -- 250 MB Limit

Departmental file storage is located on the BEAR1 server at:

  bear1.missouristate.edu\common\DEPARTMENTAL FOLDER NAME

Computer Services provides storage space on a network file server for Faculty and Staff that have need for collaborating on the same documents. The files in these departmental folders are backed up every day that a file is changed to prevent data lose due to hard drive or equipment failure. This storage location is commonly referred to as Bear One.

Each employee should consult their supervisor to discover where that office's BEAR ONE folder is located on the server. Files in that location are for official work purposes only and is not intended to store personal data or software.

The amount available in each folder is measured and strictly controlled. Anytime the departmental folder is over the maximum limit in size, no files can be added or saved to ANY sub-folder until it is no longer over limit. 

While space is limited departments may request additional storage space. There is no guarantee that the request will be granted. To request additional storage space or if you have a question about the departmental file storage system email the Help Desk.
