sippo Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 So we are looking at creating a new shared folder. We have two but want to combine into one. One contains Dept files, the other data files. Any suggestions for a share name? It will be for all School staff and not pupils. I have some idea's but they wouldn't be appropriate in a school environment! The winner gets naff all.
jmak Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 "The_Server" ? As in: Where's $document? On the server. "The_Bin" As in: What did you do with $document? I filed it...
sippo Posted June 7, 2018 Author Posted June 7, 2018 Staff shared is the most obvious one, but there must be more imaginative? No? Oh well...
Steve21 Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Seen many different ones, like planet names, roman/greek gods, race tracks, plants etc etc but I think it generally just confuses things as to what it actually is for Maybe server names in background, but shared areas are surely for ease of use And any jokey style ones you know someone will take offence at Steve
steveg Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 Call it "The Cloud" everything is going to the cloud these days, and will really confuse them when some stuff is in the actual cloud! :-) Steve
round2it Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 school dumping ground? is it just me or do all schools shared drives become full of random folders and files with stupid non descriptive names
sippo Posted June 7, 2018 Author Posted June 7, 2018 This is why SLT have finally listened to me and have a clear out. GDPR has really stirred things up, in a good way. There is student data which isn't even password protected. How big are you folders? We have around 800gb of 'stuff'...
Garacesh Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) We call ours 'Secure Staff Area', though that's probably a misnomer when you consider the amount of staff that just wander off leaving their PC unlocked Ours is reasonably tidy, we enforce using subfolders by only giving read/write permissions to certain security groups per department. We find that what happens then is you still get 16 years of Maths resources, half of which are written in a either French, Latin or Eldritch, but that's their problem because it's in their departmental folder The admin folders, things like policy documents and official communiques are kept tidy.

Rob_D Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 My suggestion of "Here be Dragons" was nixed in favour of "Staff Shared Area" here. 2
