Your Home Folder
Overview
Your Home folder is your personal space to store files and documents. No one other than you has access to your home folder.
All work related important files or documents that you don't want to have viewed by others should be saved to your home folder. You are allowed to store files and documents to your local workstation, i.e. Documents, Desktop, Pictures, etc., however please keep in mind that these files will not be backed up by IT. In the event of changing workstations or a workstation crash, files saved in your home folder can be easily restored.
