Sharing Data
Data can be shared by research groups, functional team or within departments and when using a Windows PC these will appear as individual drive letters, e.g. Z:, X: etc. or a folder within an existing shared resource. Access to shared resources is also possible from Apple macOS.
Each shared data resource must have one or more owners who are required to authorise all changes of access to their data.
Request a new shared drive OR FOLDER
Please download the Request for a new Shared network File Store form to request the creation of a new Departmental or Group shared drive or folder.
You should ensure that the requester and any additional authoriser have signed the form before submitting it. Please note that shared drives or network resources are only available to members of University Departments in the Medical Sciences Division.
You can drop the completed form in to your local MSD IT office. Alternatively you can scan and email the form to ithelp@medsci.ox.ac.uk or by post to: MSD IT Services, Room 3A25B, Level 3, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford OX3 9DU.
