Instructions from Microsoft


Campus Z-Drive

Many Faculty and Staff currently use the shared drives, or z-drives. The campus z-drives have limited space and only sync while on campus.

IT is encouraging employees to migrate the contents of their z-drives to OneDrive using the instructions above.

Newer University Windows computers will automatically sync OneDrive contents. See Employee Windows Computers.
