Easily Access Your Drive Files in Google Chrome!

Starting December 16th, a new feature called Drive File Suggestions in Google Chrome will allow you to search for your Google Drive files directly from the Chrome URL bar, instead of through Google Drive. Currently, this functionality is limited to files that users have previously opened in Chrome.

This feature will be enabled by default so once it is December 16th, you can simply restart your browsers and you will be able to search for any Drive files that you have access to, including ones that haven’t previously opened in Chrome.

If you leave Drive file suggestions in Chrome enabled, users who are signed in and opted in Chrome sync will see Drive suggestions in the Chrome URL bar for their synced account. For more information about what sync settings users can manage and how they’re managed, as well as how to enable or disable Chrome Sync, see this article on Turning sync on or off in Chrome.

Partially reposted from Drive file suggestions in Google Chrome will be generally available beginning in December

COMPLETE: ConEd Maintenance - Friday 11/29

UPDATE: The transformer replacement has been completed. Lee Hall did not lose power during the maintenance, and therefore did not lose network connectivity. Draddy Gym did lose power, however, all power is back online and all network services have been restored.

Con Edison is doing emergency transformer work on Friday, November 29th. This work will require a temporary shut down of Lee Hall, Draddy Gymnasium, and Alumni Hall. Both the wired and wireless in all three buildings will be down for the duration of this maintenance. This maintenance should not affect any other buildings on campus.

Public safety has been informed along with Residence Life and Facilities. Physical Plant will have personnel on campus to shadow the work and make sure that all systems are returned to normal. ITS will monitor the network throughout the duration of the maintenance period.

If you have any questions regarding this maintenance, please contact Physical Plant.

Google Hangouts Classic Deprecation Transition to Google Hangouts Chat Today! ***ACTION REQUIRED***

Google Hangouts Classic will no Longer Work

We’re excited to share that Google will be transitioning to its newest collaboration product, Google Hangouts Chat.













Beginning June 2020, Google will officially deprecate the Google Hangouts Classic feature in Gmail. This will be replaced with the new and improved Google Hangouts Chat feature, which supports many great features aimed towards productivity such as Chat rooms, modern interface, file uploading while chatting, adding Drive files, and much more.

As a result, any group chats that happen with Google Hangouts Classic will not be shown in the new Google Chat, so be sure to use Google Hangouts Chat to keep track of your messages. We recommend viewing this article on the interoperability of Google Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Classic.

To switch from Google Hangouts Classic to Google Hangouts Chat, all you have to do is navigate to chat.google.com and start chatting there! You can also download the new mobile app for Android or iOS, as well as download the new standalone desktop app. You'll be able to access the desktop app from a prompt that will appear inside chat.google.com.

For more help with getting started with Google Hangouts Chat, please view this resource on Getting Started with Google Hangouts Chat.
