U: Drive to Google Drive
A guide to transferring your information and files
In December 2017, the "U Drive" is going away...
You will continue to have access to your U Drive until December 2017, at which point it will be deactivated.
But, have no fear! You have unlimited storage with Google Drive through your consortium Google Apps for Education (GAFE) Account.
To further utilize Google Apps in our district and throughout the entire technology consortium, we have implemented the roll-out of Google Drive as the storage space for each employee's personal work files. The U: drive (your personal drive) will no longer be available. With the Google Drive replacement, you'll have all of your information in one place: Gmail, Google Docs/folders, Calendar, and files all in one place.
Do Not wait until December... START TODAY!
How to Transfer Your Information
The JCISD EdTech team has put together a list of clear and simple instructions to guide both MAC and PC users through the "transfer" process. All of the information you have on your U: drive can and should be easily transferred to your new Google Drive.
Next Steps
1. Review the How-To Document
This provides information to guide both MAC and PC users through the transfer, along with links to additional tutorials as needed.
2. Identify What You Need to Keep
Taking the time to clear out any old, useless or outdated files will make the switch to Google Drive even faster. However, it's important to note that nothing will be "lost," as you will have unlimited storage on your Google drive through your Google Apps for Educators account.
