File Management

Available file storage locations at SVSU include OneDrive for Business, J Drive, M Drive, C Drive and Office 365 Teams and Groups.  View the related Knowledge Articles to determine which file storage location best fits your office workflow.

In addition to choosing the appropriate location to save a file, it is just as important to define and follow a file naming convention.  File naming conventions are a way of organizing files so they can be identified by their title or by how they are grouped with other files that might contain similar information.  Naming files, according to an agreed convention, allows colleagues to more easily distinguish between similar records for file retrieval and is a system for predictable file names in the future.  View the related article for 12 Rules to use when defining a file naming convention for your department or office.
