[Service Announcement] Students – Migration of V drive contents

Share

Over the next two months, Marshall University will be migrating all V: Drive storage to Microsoft OneDrive. You will receive a completion status message from IT Announcements (itannouncements-noreply@marshall.edu) once your V: Drive has been fully migrated.

Once migration is complete, you will be able to access the files you previously stored on your V: Drive or Mac Home folder in several ways, including:

  1. Logging in at https://myapps.microsoft.com and clicking the OneDrive tile.
  2. Using the OneDrive app which is provided as part of your Marshall provided Office365 subscription here: https://portal.office.com/account#installs
  3. Installing the OneDrive app on  your Windows PC, Mac, or mobile device (iOS and Android).

 

Please Note:  Students who have a public_html folder in your V: drive will not be moved at this time.  If you currently have a public_html directory but no longer use it or wish to maintain it, contact the IT Service Desk and they can put in a ticket to have your V: drive moved.

Those users who have a public_html folder who are interested in moving that content should request a site at https://mupages.marshall.edu/ and begin development of a new site to begin the transition.  Users should then contact the IT Service Desk once you have deleted the public_html folder from your V: drive.  The mupages site is currently under development.

 

 

 

 

 

Some of the benefits of using OneDrive are:   

  • More storage space – 1 terabyte (vs. 5 GB on V: Drive)
  • Recovering deleted items in Office 365
  • Access from multiple devices
  • Office 365 Mobile app available so you can access from anywhere on the go
  • Collaboration / sharing with colleagues or family and friends
  • Integration with other Microsoft Office 365 Applications
