All staff members should store their work related files and folders in Google Drive, and should be utilizing Chrome for everything from email and chat to word processing and spreadsheets. Please be sure, if you have not already done so, to upload all work related files and folders to Google Drive that are currently being stored locally on your laptop (ie. My Documents, Desktop, C Drive, etc.). It is very important that only professional, education and CCSD21-related files are moved to the new computers and to Google Drive. Storing all files and folders in Google Drive will help to avoid hard drive capacity issues and ensure all work related files and folders are backed up in the cloud.
Since G Suite for Education now gives each user unlimited storage, all work related files and folders should always be stored in your Google Drive.
