Network & Local Drives Local Drives C - Space on your hard disk - This space is protected. You cannot save documents to the C Drive. Network Drives - backed up on server - so recovery possible G - Bank drive from which some software is run . L - User specific - intended to be a private storage area for the use of a staff member, for work-related files.
