As part of our efforts to improve the services we offer the Community, KAUST IT will be upgrading Personal Drive, or P-Drive; during this time all users’ accessibility may be impacted for a short amount of time.

What is Personal Drive (P-Drive)?

A 20GB network drive which is provided to all KAUST faculty, post-docs, staff, students, and researchers.

Why are we upgrading?

As technology changes and evolves, we must upgrade and adapt. You will enjoy a better usability experience from significant performance and speed improvements.

When is it happening?

The activity will begin on Thursday the 5^th November at 8:00 PM.

What if I need to access my files during the migration?

During the migration, for urgent access, you may access your P-Drive by using this address: \\oldmyFiles.kaust.edu.sa\username.

Please note: You may lose individual access to your files for a maximum of up to 30 minutes, depending on how much has been consumed from your storage.

Once each user P-Drive has been migrated, accessibility will return to this address: \\myFiles.kaust.edu.sa\username.

How do I access P-Drive?

Accessible as drive P: and/or \\myFiles.kaust.edu.sa\username; you can also follow these instructions on the IT Website for more information.

For any additional questions or concerns, please contact the IT Service Desk via email, give us a call at 808-0900 (Option 1), or open a ticket at servicedesk.kaust.edu.sa.
