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:
- Logging in at https://myapps.microsoft.com and clicking the OneDrive tile.
- Using the OneDrive app which is provided as part of your Marshall provided Office365 subscription here: https://portal.office.com/account#installs
- 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
