Class Folders (ClassroomSAN) for Macintosh

The Student Computing Facilities offers disk space for instructors who wish to distribute electronic data to their students. The ClassroomSAN also offers disk space for student projects in classes in our computer classroom. This service is only available for Macintosh users. If you are a Windows class, see our Class Folders for Windows service. Many instructors may find OSU's Blackboard system to be sufficient for their class disk space needs.
