Accessing network drives on a Mac

Follow the steps below to access UCA network drives (pool drives and personal home drive) on Mac computers.

NOTE: At this time, you cannot access UCA network drives while using a wireless connection. Before proceeding, make sure your Mac has a wired connection.
  1. In Finder, click Go, and then choose Connect to Server from the drop-down menu.

  1. Follow the step for pool drives or the home drive:
    • Pool Drives: Enter the server address smb://161.31.28.131/pool, and then click Connect.

  • Home Drive: Enter the server address smb://161.31.28.131/fshome/[your username] (leave out the brackets), and then click Connect.

  1. Enter your UCA username and password, and then click Connect.
NOTE: Do not select the check box Remember this password in my keychain. Because your UCA password must be changed every 90 days, any saved passwords will become outdated.
