Action required to avoid loss of shared UW Google Drive and UW OneDrive for Business files

The following email was sent to UW students, faculty and staff and the UW Medicine employees.

In our ongoing effort to modernize the University’s email, productivity and collaboration services, the next phase of the Email Modernization Program (EMP) will take place on November 27, 2018, and involve the deletion of files stored by former students and employees on UW Google Drive and UW OneDrive for Business. This may require action from you to avoid loss of UW Google Drive and UW OneDrive for Business files that have been shared with you by former students and employees.
The University has a standard practice of deleting files stored on UW Google Drive (part of UW G Suite) and UW OneDrive for Business (part of UW Office 365) once the individual who owns the files has departed the University.
In keeping with this practice, on November 27, 2018, UW Google Drive and UW OneDrive for Business files that were owned or created by individuals no longer at the University — alumni, retirees, former students, former faculty, and former staff — with the exception of Emeriti Faculty and Emeriti Librarians — will be permanently deleted. This includes any content or files they may have shared with current UW students, faculty and staff.
To find out whether you have any shared files that may be deleted and to learn how to preserve them, please refer to instructions below:

IMPORTANT: The deletion of files affects only those UW Google Drive files and UW OneDrive for Business files that were owned or created by someone no longer at the UW. Any shared files you have on other drives/file storage platforms (this includes Google Team Drive, Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online) or files owned by current UW students and employees will not be deleted.
Remember, you must take action prior to November 27, 2018 to ensure that you continue to have access to these important files. Once these files have been deleted, they cannot be recovered.
In the future, to ensure you do not lose access to shared files, we recommend you follow the steps referenced above when it is known that a colleague is leaving the University.
