Al,

Stupid question. If you are sending files why does the student need a valid MSU address to retrieve it?

Normally I use FD to send files off campus and it generates a claim code (or some such thing). Sorry if there is another MSU to MSU specific mode I've forgotten about.
 
Is using the MSU version of GoogleApp/Drive  a possibility or is that only for staff?

Hi,

We sometimes use File Depot to send large files to our students. Today, a student informed us that he was unable to log into File Depot. He placed a Service Request with IT services, and was told that because his email account has been transitioned to Office 365, he will no longer be able to log into File Depot.

If File Depot is indeed being deprecated then this is the first I’ve heard of it. If so, what will take its place? We desperately need an Institutionally sanctioned  vehicle by which to transfer files. Asking us to share intellectual property via personal Dropbox or Google accounts that are unaffiliated with the University is not an acceptable solution.

Thanks,
