COA ITS organizes personnel's files based on if the individual is considered a staff member or a faculty member. The following shows how to access personnel files for both roles.
1. To access your personal files, first, connect to \\filer.arch.tamu.edu and then choose Staff or Faculty.
2. Locate and click the folder that matches your NetID.
Please note: You are the only individual who can access your documents. While you can see folders with other individual’s NetIDs, you will only be able to access your NetID’s folder.
Great job!
Adding Your Folder to your Favorites
1. To quickly access your files, first, open a new folder by left-clicking the folder icon on the bottom left of your toolbar and selecting File Explorer.
2. In the new pop-up, click This PC located in the middle left of the window.
