Digital Signage, Accessing File Share

Digital Signage File Share:

• The file share used to store content for the Digital Signage Service can be accessed from within the Remote Desktop Session or from a workstation.
• Each department has access to their own folder.
• In the Remote Desktop Session the S:\ drive is mapped automatically.

Connecting from your workstation:

• The method of connecting from a departmental workstation may vary based upon the platform and configuration.
• The general concept is to map a drive to the resource path \\digisign-fs.cites.illinois.edu\data using your active directory credentials.

Notes on File Transfers:

• There are ways to eliminate the need to map to the file share from your local workstation.
• Some Remote Desktop clients support copy and paste of files from your local machine into the remote desktop environment.
  
• If you are a user of Box, it should be possible to place your files on box and then access them from within the remote desktop session- saving them into your folder on the S:\ drive.
