CatFiles, or the Y: Drive, is the central file server at K-State. Earlier this semester, it was announced in K-State Today that the Y: Drive was being retired. In preparation for retirement, all Y: Drives will be read-only after 4 p.m. on Friday, October 14.
What do I need to do?
If you have already moved your files off Y: Drive to OneDrive, the only thing left is to make sure you have deleted your files from Y: Drive.
If you still have files on the Y: Drive that need to be moved, you have until 4 p.m. on Friday, October 14, to move your files to OneDrive. After you move your files to OneDrive, you need to delete your files from the Y: Drive. Deleting your files off of the Y: Drive will help to ensure that you do not have duplicate copies of your files and that edits to your files are not made in two separate places. Once you have moved your files to OneDrive, you may need to update shortcuts or links associated with those files.

If you have files or data shared with your department on your Y: drive, contact your IT staff or the IT Service Desk for help getting those files moved to SharePoint instead. You do not want your department’s shared files stored under an individual user’s account.
After October 14, the Y: Drive will be read-only. If you still have files on the Y: Drive, the Division of Information Technology (IT) will begin to transfer those remaining files from the Y: Drive to your OneDrive. The transferred files will be placed in a folder titled Y_Drive_(department code).
Need help? Contact your department’s system administrator or the IT Service Desk at 800-865-6143 or 785-532-7722 or via Live Chat. For face-to-face service, visit the IT Service Desk on the second floor of Hale Library.
