OIT’s scheduled migration of files from Home Folders to OneDrive is now complete.
For the 650 faculty and staff who received notice from OIT, your computer should reboot at first login, and you will be connected to your OneDrive, with the migrated files in Documents\HomeMigration folder.
Please review our IT Knowledgebase article if you need assistance getting your files reconnected, and reach out to your IT Support Professional or the OIT Service Center.
If your computer is having connection errors, and you did NOT receive previous communication from OIT, please reach out to your IT Support Professional immediately, and do not reboot your computer. We will assist you with a migration of files, or initiate a reset of your computer’s setting to eliminate the error.
Remaining data in Home Folders will be migrated to OneDrive starting tomorrow night, and will be present in OneDrive for most faculty, staff, and students on Wednesday, June 18.
