You will lose access to data in your RMIT Google Drive on 13 September

This is your last reminder to move any data you might have in your RMIT Google Drive to RMIT’s SharePoint or OneDrive.

What content do you have stored in your RMIT Google Drive? The University is in the home stretch of our switch from Google-related products to Microsoft 365 (Office 365), which includes the file storage services SharePoint and OneDrive.

On Friday 13 September 2024, any data remining in the RMIT Google Drive you were provided at the beginning of your studies will be permanently moved to storage. This means you will lose access to it.

If you haven’t already, we suggest you urgently migrate your content as soon as possible.

How to migrate your RMIT Google Drive content

The good news is, migrating your content from your RMIT Google Drive is a fairly simple process. We’ve put together an eight-step guide for moving your files out of your RMIT Google Drive on our self-migration hub to help you with the process.

Access Microsoft 365

Are you taking full advantage of your free access to Microsoft 365? Through your RMIT account you can get free access to software including Word, Excel, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.

To access the full Microsoft suite:

Go to Microsoft 365 and log in with your RMIT email address (your student number followed by @student.rmit.edu.au) and password.
In the top right corner, click Install Office.
Select Office 365 apps.
If prompted, click the Save File button, to allow the download.
The install file will download to your computer. Open the file and follow the instructions to install the applications on your computer. When you launch the new applications, log in with your RMIT email address and password.

You can find resources on how to get the most out of Microsoft 365 on the free software and apps for students page on the student website, and on the Microsoft 365 Information Hub.
