Changes to Dal file storage for students

Posted by Information Technology Services on January 30, 2015 in General Announcements

All HÂþ»­ students now have access to a OneDrive account as part of Office 365 services, offering more than 1TB of storage space and enhanced collaboration features. .

With OneDrive now available, we will be phasing out HÂþ»­ Novell NetStorage for students (often referred to as the "G" drive). Novell NetStorage for faculty/staff will remain in place at this time.
Ìý

This will be done in a staged approach:

  • In May 2015, students’ NetStorage account will become read-only. This means that students will no longer be able to update existing files on their G drive, or add new ones. However, their existing files will still be accessible so they can copy them to another storage location for future access.
  • In January 2016, students’ NetStorage account will be turned off and their files will no longer be available.

This change will affect all files stored on students’ G drives, including web pages in the 'public_www' folder.
