Earlier this semester, it was announced in K-State Today that the Y: Drive was being retired. The Y: Drive became read-only in preparation for retirement on October 14. For those who did not move their files to OneDrive, the Division of Information Technology (IT) moved those remaining files from the Y: Drive to an individual or department’s OneDrive folder. On OneDrive, the transferred files were placed in a folder titled Y_Drive_(department code).
At 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 10, the Y: Drive will be officially retired and no longer accessible. Thank you to the K-State community for your cooperation with this project.
Hosting your files on OneDrive has many benefits. The most significant advantage of OneDrive is a secure private cloud-based folder to store everything you need, which you can access from any device. You can establish sharing and editing rights at either folder or document level, meaning you can start collaborating with colleagues inside or outside K-State. Other benefits include:
- Unlimited file access, anytime
- Platform organization for files
- Securely store files and information
- Supports multimedia
- Integrated with other Office 365 tools
If you have questions, 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.
