In order to take full advantage of Unity EdLab’s resources, it’s important to understand where everything is located in the file management system.

Understand the purpose of the different folders within the EdLab file management system.

You can think of the ‘My Projects’ folder as a home folder where you can create and save projects. Anything important that you want to keep for your next session should go here.

Think of the ‘Class Drive’ as a shared classroom library. Instructors can upload Unity projects, 3D models, and any other development materials to this drive to be shared with the entire class. Students who’d like to keep any of these materials should store them in their ‘My Projects’ folder.

The ‘Unity Projects and Assets’ folder is also available to the entire class and holds relevant Unity Learn curricula. For example, Create with Code project materials can be found here.
