👋 Introduction
Each workspace within our Trusted Research Environment ( TRE ) is provisioned with several shared directories. These are often referred to as This means that the underlying infrastructure of your workspace will include your study data and project folder, and are linked to your workspace at the time of creation. For each project, your account also has a unique user folder. Once your . If you are involved in multiple TRE projects, you will have separate project folders, each with its unique project directory.
Once your TRE workspace has been created, there is no way to link the workspace to it cannot be linked to additional studies, or to a new project - this is to ensure new projects. This ensures datasets are not shared between projects, which is crucial for our information security.
On an Ubuntu Linux workspace, these folders are mounted under the “studies” folder of in your home directory. On Windows workspaces provide , these folders are provided on the D:\ drive.
There are some known issues with using SPSS and LibreOffice from the D:\ drive. We would recommend storing files on your workspace’s C:\ drive (e.g. on your Desktop or Documents folder) and copying the files to the project storage at the end of your session.
👩⚕️ User folder
Your user folder is unique to a project - if . If you are using the TRE for multiple projects, this folder will be different differ depending on the projectsproject's workspace you are logged into. It can is accessible only be accessed by yourself you and is a place for you to store scripts, configuration, etcand other files. The user folder has been described as the unmentionably named folder due to its a randomly generated name. However, this but will always be prefixed with “u-" (for user), which should help you identify it.
👬 Project Folder

The project folder is your collaborative space - , where you can use this to exchange files between with other users on the same project. The exact name of this project can be found from your workspace details (see the image on the right).
Note Please note that syncing will is not be immediate - it . It may take several minutes before for a file shows up on to appear in another workspace after being copied to the project storage. For this reasonTherefore, it is not recommended to use this folder for live editing if you know someone else on the project also needs to edit the same files.
📚 Study Folder
The study folders are provided to a workspace in read-only mode. Data released by HIC will be sitting stored in this folder. This is to ensure ensures that study datasets have not been modified, which may lead to remain unmodified, preventing errors while computing statistics about a cohort. Generally, we aim to do treat each data release as a separate study. A workspace can be linked to multiple studies, each appearing as a separate directory within your workspace.

💾 Remounting
Occasionally it is necessary to remount the project, study, and user data folders. This occasionally happens after the workspace has automatically hibernated due to inactivity. On Windows, this can be done by clicking “Remount D Drive” on your desktop. On Ubuntu, you can run mount_s3.sh from a Terminal windowwindows.
