What does this step do?This update will copy your existing N: Drive files from the N: drive , N:\Pictures, and N:\Desktop to OneDrive:
This step is not required if you do not have any N: Drive content you want to migrateor if you have already copied your N: drive content to your OneDrive. 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’. |
