The process of decommissioning the personal home drive (known as the U: drive) started in December 2021. OIT has publishing guides for self-migration and can offer assisted or automated migrations to alternative cloud storage locations. (NOTE: Group or Departmental storage drives are not part of these service changes.)
Beginning December 2021: no new Home (U:\) drives are being created and any unused or empty drives will be decommissioned automatically.
OIT asks individuals to consider the following actions:
- Start reviewing the data in your Home Drive (U: drive) and delete unwanted files.
- Select the appropriate documentation on how and where to migrate your data.
- Select where you want to store your data: OneDrive, Box, or Google Drive.
- For assistance or questions regarding migration of your personal drive storage please submit an OIT request online or via email to helpdesk@rice.edu.
