Your P drive is a cloud-based storage container, which is available when you are logged into your GCC work station, whether on-campus or through remote access.
Your P drive is a safe and practical location to store your work and course files, and its content is backed up nightly. You are welcome to keep document and image files on this drive and should not experience a problem with ample storage space.
Audio and/or video files– for courses or other purposes– quickly consume storage space and we encourage you not to store them long-term on your P drive. In fact, if you try to save such files, you will receive a message to this effect.
GCC provides a practical and convenient solution for audio and video files called Ensemble. Think of it as a vast cloud-based video and audio shelf, on which you may store a seemingly endless number of such files. In fact, if you record Zoom sessions of your courses, these recordings are automatically uploaded to your Ensemble account. You also may easily create links in your Blackboard course sites to specific Ensemble files, making it easy for students to find and view audio/video content related to your course(s).
If you do not already have an Ensemble account (or are unsure if you have one), contact helpdesk@genesee.edu
