Name Change: Google Renaming Team Drives to Shared Drives
Google recently announced that they will be renaming “Team Drives” to “shared drives”. This change will not impact Team Drives functionality; it is simply a name change. Google has learned that customers use Team Drives for a lot more than sharing within teams, so calling them “shared drives” makes it easier to understand how one could use them.
iPhone and Android users will begin to notice the change at the end of May in their Google apps. Those accessing Team Drives from a browser will begin to see the name change in early June.
For more information, please see the official announcement from Google.
Planned Change: McAfee Agent upgrade and McAfee Endpoint Security on Denison-owned computers starting Thu 5/30/19
On 5/30/19 ITS will release an upgrade to McAfee Agent and McAfee Endpoint Security on Denison-owned computers. This upgrade is “silent” and will not impact your ability to use your computer while it is happening. At some point during the upgrade process, you might notice a Windows notification regarding your antivirus protection is off. It should resolve itself after a short period of time once the new software version is installed and running. If the Windows notification stays there permanently, please contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@denison.edu or 740-587-6395.
