The U: drive is a legacy file storage space offering 10GB of storage, attached to your Keyano student or employee computer account.
Why Should I Avoid Using the U: Drive?
While the U: drive provides some benefits, such as instant file saving and regular backups, it is not the preferred method for file storage. Here's why:
- Limited Access: Files saved on the U: drive may not be accessible from other computers, which limits your ability to work from different locations or devices.
- Potential Loss of Data: Saving files to your desktop or documents folder may result in those files not being backed up, risking data loss if something goes wrong.
- Outdated Method: The U: drive is an older storage solution and doesn't offer the modern features and flexibility of cloud-based storage systems like OneDrive.
Preferred Alternative: OneDrive
We strongly recommend using OneDrive instead of the U: drive. OneDrive offers secure cloud storage, access from any device, real-time collaboration, and robust backup options. For more information on how to set up and use OneDrive, please refer to the following resources:
By transitioning to OneDrive, you’ll ensure your files are always accessible, securely backed up, and easily shareable, making it the superior choice for file management.
