Introduction

On a Mac, the J drive (often called as Campus Folder in macOS terminology) can be safely accessed using SMB (Server Message Block), through Finder. Before you can access the Campus Folder, make sure your mac is connected to eduVPN, as the J drive is only available on the university network.
