As mentioned over the last several months, Stevens is consolidating cloud storage platforms to improve productivity, collaboration, accessibility, and security for our community.
Stevens currently has four storage platforms for users – Google Drive, Storage01, Box, and Microsoft 365. With Storage01 having been decommissioned, and Google changing their licensing structure to no longer provide free storage, Stevens will support Microsoft 365 as our primary cloud storage solution for sensitive and restricted data.
Microsoft OneDrive (5TB per user) is recommended for individual user data and SharePoint for departmental data. Microsoft should be utilized for all sensitive data, but Google (10 GB per user) will still be available for non-sensitive data. Data from Box must be migrated to OneDrive/SharePoint. Please note that as with all Stevens computing resources, these storage platforms may not be used in violation of the Security Policy or Digital Copyright and DMCA requirements.
On Tuesday, December 20, 2022, the Google storage quota (10 GB per user) will go into effect for all faculty and staff members. Our IT team is currently working with departments across campus to migrate their departmental data from Box and Google Drive to Microsoft (OneDrive and SharePoint). We are working with representatives from various departments on campus, if your department has not contacted IT regarding your migration please reach out to Maryam Mirza directly.
For more information on the project timeline and departmental migration process, please visit stevens.edu/cloudstorage. IT will be updating the website regularly to ensure users have the most up-to-date information.
If you have personal business data, not departmental data, that needs to be migrated from Google or Box we recommend you use the free mover.io tool to do so. View the Knowledge Base articles for step-by-step instructions on how to migrate your Box and Google Drive data.
For concerns regarding the project please contact Maryam Mirza, should you need technical support contact Client Support Services at support@stevens.edu or 201-380-6599.
