Your local files (desktop, documents, & pictures) will be soon be migrated from on-premise file servers to cloud-based, Microsoft OneDrive.
For most people, the experience will remain almost identical, with the exception that all of these files will now be automatically housed in the cloud, instead of locally. Access to the local files will still be available for most files unless sync is manually turned off.
Staff and faculty with information classified as either P3 or P4, that is currently housed in any of the locations listed above, will need to take a few extra steps to ensure this specific information is not automatically synced.
