The IT Department is working to retire all personal local network drives, common known as the G: drive. New employees will not have a G: drive assigned to them going forward. User who do have G: drives are asked to move their data to OneDrive, Microsoft’s cloud storage solution.
Starting on Wednesday, November 1, all G: drives will be made read-only. This means that users will only be able to view their documents store in their G: drives but not edit current documents or add new documents. On January 8, 2024, all G: drives will be eliminated.
OneDrive offers the following benefits:
- Easier access to files across devices and networks, including while working remotely
- Increased security controls
- Automatic versioning and backup of files
- File sharing
The IT Training team will be holding additional training sessions on using OneDrive, including syncing your OneDrive to your computer and best practices for migrating your files from your G: drive into your OneDrive.
