Previous File Storage

Do you have personal files saved on your personal student UFV network drive before September 2012?

• In September 2012, UFV’s network file storage system for students was changed.
• UFV students from Summer 2012 and earlier semesters will need to copy or move any personal files they want saved from NetStorage at gw.ufv.ca/NetStorage at Home@UCFV (also known as R:Drive).
• After May 31, 2013, students will no longer have access to their personal files on the old file NetStorage file system.
• The logical place students can move their files is to their new HomeDir at gateway.ufv.ca.
