Broadcast: News items

Over the weekend of Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 of September, ITS colleagues will be replacing the existing G Drive Service. 

What does this mean for me?

Work will begin on Friday 5 September at 5pm. We expect the service to be available again by 8am on Monday 8 September. The G Drive will not be accessible between these times. All other services will continue to work as normal.

If you use the G Drive, please log out and shut down your computer by 5pm on Friday 5 September. Please log in again after 8am on Monday 8 September. We recommend that colleagues avoid using their computers over this weekend.

What to expect:

• The G Drive will not be accessible between 5pm on Friday 5 September and 8am on Monday 8 September.
• We recommend saving any files you may need elsewhere before 5pm on Friday.
• Once the migration is finished, you’ll be able to access the drive as usual.

We’ll share a follow-up message once the service is back online. In the meantime, if you have urgent file access needs, please contact the IT Service Desk on extension 8090 or ITServiceDesk@sussex.ac.uk and we’ll do our best to assist you.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to improve our shared tools.
