Info

This step is not required if you do not have any N: Drive content you want to migrate. This update will copy your existing N: Drive content from  N: drive, N:\Pictures, and N:\Desktop  to OneDrive:

  • N: Drive files will be moved to OneDrive\Documents.

  • N:\Pictures will be moved to OneDrive\Pictures.

  • N:\Desktop will be moved to OneDrive\Desktop.

This step can take some time depending on the number and size of files. It’s a two-step process. Files are copied from your N drive to your computer, then synchronized to your OneDrive space. 

If your managed machine is at home and you have bandwidth concerns, contact your IST account rep for alternative options.   

If you would rather manually move N: drive files to your OneDrive, see: Moving N Drive Files to OneDrive on Windows 10 or Moving N Drive Files to OneDrive on MacOS and then move on to ‘Enable OneDrive Documents folder as your default file location’. 

Note

The files below will not be copied over as part of this process. If you need access to these files, contact your IST account rep for assistance.
