The G drive is now the U drive

The iT department has changed the location of your personal storage space. The G:drive is now the U:drive. This is in response to issues we have had on multiple computers whereas the G:drive disappears due to a media card reader or a personal thumb/flash drive hijacking the position. By moving up the alphabet, we give the end user the ability to use more thumbdrives (which typically take up lower alphabet letters such as e, f, and g) WITHOUT having a conflict with your new personal storage space, the U:drive.

The My Documents folder on your computer has typically pointed to the G:drive. Computers that have been reimaged this summer now have the My Documents folder pointing to the U:drive. If your computer has not yet been reimaged, your My Documents folder will still be pointing to the G:drive. However, you can get to the U:drive by simply looking at your list of network drives; the U:drive will appear near the end of the list.
