Remote access to your Abertay network drive
So, you've forgotten your pendrive enough times and been left wondering where did that question 14 you surely did get lost?
I doesn't have to be like that! You can copy files from the home machine to university account with ease, and this guide will show you how. All you need is your university number, the password and a computer with Internet access. There are three ways to go about it.

All screenshots from Peppermint OS which uses the Nemo file manager, so YMMV
According to the Help
section in https://myfiles.abertay.ac.uk/myfiles/. In fact this whole guide wouldn't have happened without it, but that's the only part I'm including without personal testing
If your Desktop Environment is Unity, Gnome, XFCE or LXDE, that's what you want. It actually depends on whether your distro uses GVFS or KIO for it's virtual folder access
If your DE is KDE Plasma or LXQT, that's what you want
Warning: KNetAttach(the script for connecting to webdav folders in KDE Plasma) is currently broken. You can still connect to the network drive by putting webdavs://myfiles.abertay.ac.uk/myfiles/hcwebdav/Home drive/
into the full path in Dolphin
