I love Dropbox<\/a>\u00a0(sign up here if you haven’t already!)<\/em>. \u00a0It’s amazing for syncing stuff across multiple computers, and even better for getting lectures, notes, pdfs, pics, and just about anything else on iPads.<\/p>\n

However, there’s one thing I don’t love: the space limits. \u00a0For most people, 2 gigs is a healthy piece of storage. \u00a0For a busy HMS student, it’s paltry. \u00a0I’m just beginning second year, and I’ve already gobbled up a lot. \u00a0From etexts to course guides to lecture slides, I’m already pushing the limits of what free can get you.<\/p>\n

Enter the HMS share drive. It’s storage space that we get for free from HMS-IT. \u00a0In fact, you already use it every day when you log into one of the computers in the TMEC. \u00a0Notice the My Documents<\/span> folder? \u00a0All that is your personal directory on the share drive. \u00a0Now you can access that drive with your iPad, syncing lecture notes and annotations between your tablet and the HMS computers.<\/p>\n

Excited? \u00a0Let’s dive right in.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Ben Grannan for suggesting this as a blog topic!<\/em><\/p>\n

Step 1: Open GoodReader\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"GoodReader<\/p>\n

Step 2: \u00a0Add a new SFTP connection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tap Connect to Servers<\/span> in the right side of the GoodReader pane. \u00a0Then tap Add<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"Tap<\/a>In the menu that pops up, scroll down and select SFTP Server<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Step 3: \u00a0Enter your HMS Login Info<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the box that pops up, type in the following information. \u00a0Use your MyCourses ID for the username and password fields.<\/p>\n

\"GoodReader<\/a>Step 4: \u00a0Access Shared Files!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tap the newly created HMS share drive<\/span> that will appear under Connect to Server<\/span>. It will open up a window with two directories showing. \u00a0Tap HOME<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"First<\/a>And, MEOW<\/strong><\/em>, all your files that are stored on the HMS shared drive are available for you to download.<\/p>\n
