Shared Storage
Using Microsoft Teams and/or Sharepoint
91心頭利 IT will be transitioning the G: Network Drive to cloud file storage solutions that are part of the Office 365 ecosystem beginning in August 2023. Network drives will be moved to Teams/SharePoint sites where you will be able to create and store files to work on within your department. OneDrive is where you can create and share your personal work files. Departments will be sent a link to obtain access to their files within a Teams environment.

How Can I Access network/department files on my computer?
Both SharePoint and OneDrive use the same “OneDrive App” on your computer that will allow you to access your files. 91心頭利 IT recommends that you from SharePoint/Teams to have easy access to your network files. Doing so will allow your files to appear in your File Explorer (Windows) and Finder (MacOS).
If you are on a public computer and need access to your files, you can simply use the SharePoint website to have full access online to your files. Visit office.wm.edu and login with your 91心頭利 credentials to access the cloud based solution. Make sure to always log out when you are done!
Any files that are added to SharePoint/Teams can be accessed by other members of the department site. You will not need to manually share files with your department when adding them to a network/department site within Teams/Sharepoint.
