Personal storage for OVGU users

All OVGU users are given a personal storage area (home) of 10 GB when their OVGU account is activated. Access to the personal home area is possible via the CIFS/NFS protocols. When you log in to your computer with your OVGU account, your home area is automatically available to you as drive H:.

When using a decentralized Windows system, a network drive must be connected. In this case, the address is \\sthome.ovgu.de\<ovgu-account>.
Linux systems access the home area via the CIFS client or via NFS. Information on integration for Ubuntu systems can be found on this page.

Please note: If you do not log in to your computer with your OVGU-Account, you must enter the domain @ads.uni-magdeburg.de after your user name. Do not just enter jdoe, but jdoe@ads.uni-magdeburg.de instead.

The home area is available in the OVGU data network. The VPN connection must be established from outside.
