We cannot reliably mount the UWP Y:-drive for our users, because of some issues. On the following link you'll find all available solution to reach your Y:-drive:<br/>
=== Generic instructions ===

----<br/>
'''Users with sudo'''<br/>
For users with ''"sudo"'' rights on their PC, there is another option.<br/>
* First you'll have to login to "https://uwp.rug.nl" and go to ''"Tools & Utilities"''. Open ''"Explore Group Drive Y"''.
* In the newly opened explorer window, right click ''"Shared Storage (Y:)"'', select ''"Properties"'' and go to the ''"DFS"'' tab.
* In the ''"Referral list"'', look for the path that says ''"Active"'' is ''"Yes"'' and write down the first part of the path... ''"CL*-N*"''.


Now on your own system, create the directory where you want to mount your Y drive, e.g.:
When you use the LWP then your UWP Y: drive is available at '''/media/ydrive'''.
mkdir /mnt/Y
 
In the following command, change the path to what you've written down and change the username to your p-number. Then you can mount your Y drive on your system.
Otherwise from with the university network you can use the smb protocol to access the Y:-drive.
  sudo mount -t cifs //CL*-N*.workspace.rug.nl/ydrive /mnt/Y --verbose -o username=p123456,workgroup=WORKSPACE,vers=2.1
 
To do this permanently add the following lines to your ''"/etc/fstab"'':
$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ydrive/
  # The UWP Y-drive
  $ sudo mount -t smb3 //workspace.rug.nl/ydrive /mnt/ydrive/ -o user=<p-number>
//CL*-N*.workspace.rug.nl/ydrive /mnt/Y cifs username=p123456,workgroup=WORKSPACE,vers=2.1 0 0

Generic instructions

When you use the LWP then your UWP Y: drive is available at /media/ydrive.

Otherwise from with the university network you can use the smb protocol to access the Y:-drive. 

$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ydrive/
$ sudo mount -t smb3 //workspace.rug.nl/ydrive /mnt/ydrive/ -o user=<p-number>

From outside the university network

From outside the university network you can use https://vlwp.rug.nl or https://uwp.rug.nl

From inside the university network using your own OS

MacOS

First edit (as root) `/etc/nsmb.conf` to contain: 

[default]
protocol_vers_map=4

Then in `Finder` choose `Go -> Connect to Server` and fill in:

  • `smb://<p-number>@workspace.rug.nl/ydrive`

Linux

First edit `/etc/samba/smb.conf` to contain: 

[global]
min protocol = SMB2
client min protocol = SMB2
workgroup=WORKPLACE

Then use your file manager to connect to a network share:

  • `smb://<p-number>@workspace.rug.nl/ydrive`


Linux
