This message was sent yesterday by Information Systems and Technology (IST) as a reminder that they will discontinue the N: drive storage on April 30, 2023:
What is happening? Effective April 30, 2023, the IST-hosted individual user network drives and related profiles for employees ('fileu' and 'filep') and students ('files' and 'fileq') in the Faculties of Arts, Environment, Health, and Science will no longer be offered. Note, Faculties of Math and Engineering host their own N: drives and are not included in this change.
What do faculty, staff, students in Arts, Environment, Health, and Science need to do?
- If you have files on your N: drive you wish to keep access to, and have not yet done so, please migrate files to your OneDrive. See appropriate resource below.
- If applicable, please update all course notes that reference N: drives to point to an alternate, University-supported storage option (e.g., OneDrive).
- Please contact your Faculty IT group for assistance.
Content must be migrated by April 30, 2023, to prevent data loss.
Additional Resources
If there is any content on your personal N: drive that you want to keep, please ensure that you have copied it to OneDrive prior to April 30, 2023.
