My Documents and Department SharePoint Libraries are the two primary File Share types on campus.
My Documents is the personal folder that each Faculty and Staff member has. Department SharePoint Document Libraries are a collection of intra- and inter-departmental shared folders of documents accessible on the campus SharePoint site.
Features
Network file shares allow you to access files directly and work on them as if they were stored on your local computer. A user's Documents folder is generally used as a default storage location for an individual's files that don't need to be shared. Department SharePoint Document Libraries are where files that need to be shared across multiple users can be stored.
Certain file types are not allowed to be saved on SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive. If you experience trouble saving a file due to these exceptions (for instance, executable files), please contact Help Desk who can work with you to find a suitable, regulated, secure storage platform.
