Effective Sept. 30, personal file shares for Nebraska Medicine and UNMC employees will no longer be accessible. Your personal file share is likely known as an M: drive (Nebraska Medicine) or H: drive (UNMC).
In September of 2020, Nebraska Medicine and UNMC colleagues were encouraged to transition their files from their personal file shares to One Drive as an information security precaution.
OneDrive is a Microsoft cloud-based storage solution best used for storing personal files that do not require a high level of collaboration or cross-team access. Accessing files via OneDrive can be done anywhere, anytime, and does not require the use of Global Protect.

Transition any files in your personal file share drive to OneDrive by Sept. 30, 2021. Files that are not transitioned to OneDrive by Sept. 30 will no longer be accessible.
This is the first step in a larger organizational initiative to decommission department file shares across Nebraska Medicine and UMMC. The File Share Migration Project, as it is being called, is currently in the pilot phase with Nebraska Medicine and UNMC IT departments.
Up next, the File Share Migration Project team will pilot the project format with select Nebraska Medicine and UNMC departments. These pilots will last throughout the month of July.
Teams and departments across Nebraska Medicine and UNMC can ensure they are adequately prepared for this project work by beginning to inventory the department file shares (ex. R: drives, O: drives, etc.) and/or on-premises SharePoint sites that they rely on for day-to-day operations.
On premises SharePoint sites can be identified by the following website addresses:
