Final notice: NetDisk retirement

After that date, NetDisk will no longer be accessible.

NetDisk is the web interface for accessing documents stored on Miami’s servers (i.e., MyFiles, M drive, G drive, MUFiles, departmental file space, etc.). Your files themselves will be unaffected, and you will still be able to access them through other methods.

However, we recommend that you find an alternative solution for document storage and sharing, and start using it before the December 18, 2019 cutoff.

As noted in the last reminder, we have created a site that will serve as a landing page for all of the information you need regarding NetDisk going away. On this site, you’ll find:

  • Resources for alternative methods of data storage and sharing (like Google Drive, Canvas, and Filelocker)
  • Links to Knowledge Base articles that provide more context
