There are three MWS File Storage options:

1. MWS home directory - user specific file share is automatically mapped on Managed Workstations. Typically referred to as the 'H drive'
   • Useful for personal file storage, as the H Drive can only be accessed by its user
   • Not for confidential data or Access databases
2. MWS Shared File Services - Shared file space, typically referred to as the 'I drive'
   • Useful for team file storage, as UW Groups can be used to control access to who views the files
   • Not for confidential data or Access databases
3. MWS Windows File Services - Shared file space, with support for rich Windows ACLs
   • Typically created as a top-level folder in the I: Drive, available by request.
   • Recommended for storing and using Microsoft Access Databases
   • File versioning enabled via Shadow Copy

Current rates for MWS Files Services are available in the MWS Service Catalog Entry.
