Network Drive Usage

Posted on by

The GRCC Information Technology department hopes 2019 finds you well and that you are enjoying our wonderful winter weather.

Thinking ahead to the warmer weather, it may be time for a bit of spring cleaning, at least in your personal network drives. Make sure your J Drive and Google Drive are being used with GRCC best practices in mind. Ensure your drives adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Store only content relevant to GRCC
  • Move any personal files, not relevant to GRCC to an external storage drive
  • Remove files that are out of date and no longer needed
  • Move large files NOT containing personally identifiable information from the J drive to Google Drive

Let’s continue to make our network drive usage be relevant and responsive. If you have any questions, you can always reach out to the Support Desk at itsupport@grcc.edu or (616) 234-4357.
