1. From your computer's desktop, click on Go in the top menu bar, and select Connect to Server
2. In the Server Address box, type the following (or the folder address you were provided): smb://bscappm1/folder_name (replacing "folder_name" with the name of the department folder)
3. Click on the plus sign (+) to add the folder to the Favorites Servers list
4. Click once on the Connect button
5. The folder should open, and an icon should now appear on your desktop
