Everyone with an Odin account is given storage space on PSU’s network, on the H and I Drives. You can use these drives to save and access files from both on and off campus. The H Drive is intended for personal file storage, while the I Drive is a shared storage area used by PSU departments.

Security and Access
H and I Drives are backed up every night and are a good place to store important files. If your computer’s hard drive ever crashes, its files may not be recoverable — but if you have copies of your most important files on a network drive, like the H or I Drive, they will be backed up.
Access to the H Drive is automatically granted to every Odin account owner.
I Drive access is granted by department resource managers using the I Drive Access form. Only resource managers can submit the I Drive Access form. If you are not a resource manager, you must ask a resource manager to complete the form on your behalf.
Accessing the H and I Drives
You can securely access your H Drive and the I Drive from any computer that is connected to the internet.
