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:

Users with sudo
For users with "sudo" rights on their PC, there is another option.
- 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.:
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.
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":
# The UWP Y-drive //CL*-N*.workspace.rug.nl/ydrive /mnt/Y cifs username=p123456,workgroup=WORKSPACE,vers=2.1 0 0
