LMU members have access to personal cloud storage.

  • On the Remote Desktop and on work devices, the storage space is automatically available as drive H:.
  • You can map the network drive on personal devices.
  • You can access files in Personal Storage via webdisk.mwn.de.

The data is stored at the LRZ in accordance with data protection regulations and is protected by automatic backups. If necessary, you can also access deleted files and older versions of files.

Mount drive in Windows

If you want to access your personal network drive from outside the university network—for example, from home—you'll first need an active VPN connection (VPN) via eduVPN.

  • Install eduVPN (from LRZ) and use it to connect to the university network (instructions for VPN client for Windows)
  • In Windows Explorer, select "Map network drive" (right-click on "This PC" and select "Map network drive").
  • Select drive letter (H: or another)
  • Enter path: \\nas.ads.mwn.de\<LRZ ID> [The LRZ ID must only be specified for the personal H: drive. Other paths (e.g., G:) must be entered without a personal ID.]
  • Check the box next to "Other login information"
  • Enter username ADS\<LRZ ID>
  • Enter your password (the same as for AnyConnect and logging in to your work computer).
  • Check the box next to "Save login details."

Mount drive in MacOS

  • Install eduVPN (from LRZ) and use it to connect to the university network (instructions for VPN client for Mac)
  • Under the “Go to” tab, select “connect to server” at the bottom.
  • Enter the path smb://nas.ads.mwn.de/<LRZ ID> in the server address field and click Connect.
  • Enter username ADS\<LRZ ID>
  • Enter your password (the same as for AnyConnect and logging in to your work computer).
  • Check the box next to "Save password in Keychain" if desired.
  • The network icon will then appear on the desktop.
  • If you want to permanently integrate the drive, open System Preferences, go to Users & Groups under the System group, and then click Login Items on the left. Here you can add programs that you want to open at startup. If you now drag the previously integrated network drive from the desktop into this window, the NAS drive will be integrated at startup.
