Description  

MavDisk is a secure file storage option for employees with storage for up to 64 GB of personal files.

Note: It's recommended to use cloud file storage options instead of MavDisk. Use Microsoft OneDrive for personal files and Microsoft Teams for department files. These options are easier to access across devices and have more storage space, better file sharing features, and easy integration with other Microsoft 365 tools and D2L Brightspace. Students, faculty, and staff get OneDrive and Teams access included in their Microsoft 365 account.

How to Access 

Faculty and staff can access MavDisk by "mapping" it to their computer. To access MavDisk while off campus, you must either log in to WorkMSU or connect to the Cisco Secure Client (VPN).
