On an Ubuntu Linux workspace, these folders are mounted under the “studies” folder of your home directory. Windows workspaces provide these folders on the D:\ drive.
Please be aware that running applications such as R Studio, MATLAB, VS Code, etc directly from the shared folders is not supported. This is because we are using what is known as object storage, which supports a reduced set of operations. Some applications may not work as expected. We recommend working from the workspace’s local drive and backing files up to the shared folders separatelyWorkspaces running Windows with the configurations prior to “Windows 2-v3.1.2” may encounter errors while saving and overwriting files to the D:\ drive. If you are encountering this, you may want to backup your files, terminate the workspace and create a new one using the newest Windows workspace configuration.
There are some known issues with using RStudio from the D:\ drive. Saving R scripts works fine, but R projects will cause RStudio to crash. This is an issue with RStudio and we are keeping an eye on releases to see if a fix is released.
👩⚕️ User folder
Your user folder is unique to a project - if you are using the TRE for multiple projects, this folder will be different depending on the projects' workspace you are logged into. It can only be accessed by yourself and is a place for you to store scripts, configuration, etc. The user folder has been described as the unmentionably named folder due to its randomly generated name. However, this will always be prefixed with “u-" (for user) which should help you identify it.
