Google Drive Migration

Google Drive Overview

Google Drive is a cloud storage service used for storing and sharing your files.  The "Cloud" nature of this service allows access to files at any time from any device.  The current network drives (Q:, T:, etc) are only accessible when connected to the districts network.

File migration

Your files will need to be transferred from your network network drive to your Google (G:) drive.  The process is simple and the steps below will guide you through the process.

  • Make sure you are at the district and connected to the district network.  Your network drive should be accessible.
  • Open the start menu and search for Google Drive, then open it.
    • If Google Drive isn't available, install it through Software Center.
    • Open start, locate the Microsoft Endpoint Manager folder and expand it.  Click Software Center.
