PSU computer accounts (generally called "Odin accounts")

  • Accounts overview: Accounts available at PSU
  • Account management: Use the Odin Accounts Manager -- Create your account, change your password
  • Your Odin account and password works for logging in on Windows and Mac workstations in PSU offices and computer labs, connecting to banweb, PSU wireless, Blackboard, myfiles, and more. You can also connect with this account to odin.pdx.edu, a Unix system, for maintaining your personal web pages.

Computer Files

  • The H: drive (in Windows) is your personal account file storage, available on all PSU Windows and Mac systems when you log in. (How to connect to your H: drive from a Mac)
  • Disk space quotas: You have three different disk quotas. Quotas are the maximum disk space that you can use for a given purpose. Faculty and staff have higher quotas than students; the numbers below are for faculty and staff:
    1. H: drive quota: 10 GB (students 500 MB)
    2. Email quota: 2 GB (students 500 MB)
    3. Web/Unix quota: 2 GB (students 500 MB). This is the Unix server, used for web files.
    You can find your current Email, print, and Unix quotas by logging in to webmail and clicking the "Information" link.
  • The I: drive (in Windows) is the departmental shared file storage, usually available on your PSU office computer (Windows or Mac) when you log in. Your department head or administrator should decide which directories on the departmental drive you will have access to. You can then share files with other GSE staff by saving them on the departmental drive (instead of emailing multiple attachments)
  • PSU file backups: PSU backs up the contents of your H: drive and the department's I: drive every night and saves backups for two weeks. From a Windows computer on campus, you can sometimes recover H: and I: drive files yourself.
  • PSU provies off-campus file access to the H: and I: drives for both Windows and Mac computers
