Re-mounting Shared Folders on a Mac

Under some conditions your Mac laptop or desktop can lose the automatic connection to BSG-FS, removing your access to Live and your personal shared folder. This most commonly happens when:

• you connect or disconnect a laptop from a docking station.
• your Mac wakes up from sleep.
• your Mac is not regularly re-started.

If you see this issue on a regular basis please raise a support ticket by emailing ict@bsg.ox.ac.uk
