NENC ICB: Moving Personal Network Folders to OneDrive
For the attention of all NENC ICB staff
From April 2024 onwards, NENC ICB users will be required to sign into OneDrive with their NHS.Net accounts and move their personal network drive (H: Drive) content.
Standard Windows file storage locations such as Desktop, Documents and Pictures now point to OneDrive, not C: or H:.
Other network drives such as the I: drive or S: drive remain in place for saving or archiving work related material. The contents are shared with your immediate work colleagues and permissions are managed via the NECS Service Desk.
The following screen shot shows a typical user’s file directories and folders in File Explorer.
Please note the following:
- Your OneDrive location displays typically as [Your name] – NHS with the blue OneDrive icon. Simply click in here to see all your migrated files and folders from the H: drive. You can create folders and save files to this drive as usual.
