More Confidence
Your files have a new home.
Everything you know still works.
Carolina Meadows has moved its shared and personal drives to Microsoft SharePoint and OneDrive. Your files came with us — same folders, same documents. This site shows you where they are, how to open them, and how to get more out of the new tools when you're ready.
Start Here
Choose your path
There are two ways to reach your files, and both are covered step by step. Most people start with the one that feels familiar, then grow into the other.
Feels just like before
File Explorer
Your department's folders and your personal files still appear right in Windows File Explorer — the same window you've always used. Double-click to open, drag to move, save as usual.
Use File ExplorerThe new way — and the preferred one
The SharePoint web interface
Open your files from any browser, on any computer — no office PC required. Search everything, see who changed what, and restore earlier versions of a document yourself.

Learning Library
Hand-picked videos and guides from Microsoft and trusted trainers — from a two-minute introduction to a full beginner's course. Each one comes with a short note on what it covers.

The short version
| Before the move | Now | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Shared group drives (your department's drive) | SharePoint document libraries | The same shared folders, now available in File Explorer and from any web browser. |
| Your private drive | OneDrive | Your personal work files, backed up automatically and available wherever you sign in. |
| Files lived on a server in the building | Files live securely in Microsoft's cloud | No more “the drive is down.” Files are protected, versioned, and recoverable. |
Good to know
Nothing was left behind. Every folder and file from the old drives was moved during the migration. If you can't find something, it's almost always in the same folder path as before — and the Help & FAQ page shows you how to search for it in seconds.
Why It's Worth It
A better way to work with files
Work from anywhere
Your files are no longer tied to one building or one computer. Sign in from any browser and pick up where you left off.
No more “final_v7_REAL.docx”
SharePoint keeps version history automatically. Everyone works on one copy, and you can look back at — or restore — any earlier version.
Edit together, at the same time
Two people opening the same document no longer locks anyone out. You can both edit at once and watch each other's changes appear.
Find files fast
Search looks inside documents, not just at file names. Type a few words you remember and the file finds you.
