Changes to OneDrive in Engineering Labs

Important information

What's happening?

From the start of Semester 1, 2023 the Engineering lab and shared student Windows-based computers will have OneDrive as the location for files in Documents, Pictures and Desktop. This allows you to access your files from outside the University, whereas files stored on your Home Drive are only available on-campus.

I was here last year - what's changed?

If you have saved files in the Documents, Desktop or Pictures folders last year then you will see that you can no longer find them through those shortcuts (as the shortcuts are changed to OneDrive now). The files have not moved at all and haven't been touched by anyone but you, you just need to get to them through a different route. You can find them using the new Home Drive icon on the desktop or through H:\ on File Explorer.
