HOWTO Connect to i3fileshare

The server running at i3Detroit has storage space for member files which can be accessed from any computer connected to the network. We were previously using SMB on Hardac.

See also: Google Shared Drive for the cloud storage stuff.

Please note that it isn't backed up, do not depend on this for your only copy of a Very Important file.

Access

You can always access it in a browser at https://files.i3.lc. Or, if you prefer to use it alongside your local system, you should connect over WebDAV with the following instructions:

Windows

If you want to have it semi-permanently accessible as a network drive, go to File Explorer, right click on Network, and click Map network drive. Otherwise, click in the address bar and navigate to \\files.i3.lc\DavWWWRoot.

By default, Windows has a maximum file size limit of about 50 MB. If you need to transfer larger files, you can edit a registry key to set it to the protocol maximum of 4 GB. First, search for regedit and run as administrator. Then navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters\FileSizeLimitInBytes and change the value to ffffffff. Finally, either reboot your PC or restart the service by running compmgmt.msc as administrator and navigating to Services and Applications > Services > WebClient, right click, and choose restart.

macOS

Open Finder, and click Go > Connect To Server... and enter the same URL as the web UI listed above.

GNOME-based Linux

Open Files, and click Network in the sidebar. Enter davs://files.i3.lc as the server address, or use dav://... for a non-TLS connection.
