When working remotely, staff should be using OneDrive to save and access files from the N drive (your home directory).
To access files from your G or T drive, see how to ‘Access your G or T drive from home’.
Staff are advised to only move files that you need. Do not move archived or obsolete files.
Follow our WebDrive instructions if you are using a Windows PC. If you’re using a Mac, follow our guide to connect to your N Drive if you're using a Mac computer.
