About I: Drive

The UTSA I: Drive is a central location on the UTSA network that allows faculty and staff members to store business-related documents within their own department under what is known as the “common” drive. Each user has their own individual folder as well that is only accessible by that user.

Each department is allocated 1 GB of I: Drive space per person.

To share files/folders outside your department, faculty and staff may use RowdySpace. Visit the RowdySpace page to learn more.

To request additional I: Drive space, contact OIT Support Services (Help Desk).
