Helios Network Storage

Helios is a high-speed, robust, centralized file storage server. Network file storage has a number of benefits including the ability to access one’s personal files from any publicly accessible computer system on campus.

Advantages of Using Helios

• You can access your personal files from anywhere: your office, an SU lab/classroom, or Starbucks!
• Files stored on Helios are backed up every evening.
• You have 600 MB of storage. That may not sound like much but it’s plenty of space to store important projects and papers.

Helios in the labs and classrooms

When you login to a computer in a copmputer lab or classroom, access to your Helios storage is automatically setup. There will be a drive mapped to ‘HOME’ which is your document storage directory on Helios. Many SU folk refer to this as their H: drive or their Helios drive.
