Google Drive Alerts

It has come to our attention that the antiquated Google Drive sync app has begun to prompt users with the following alert:

This alert is legitimate; however, you do not need to install File Stream, it is already installed on all college owned Windows PCs. Mac users can follow through with the installation via this prompt.

For more information regarding File Stream, please visit our tutorial site here.

Services Restored

ITS has become aware of a short service disruption that was an unexpected side effect of some planned network maintenance. All services have been restored and those still experiencing issues should contact the InfoDesk.

Google Drive sync app to be retired

ITS is beginning the transition from the Google Drive App to Drive File Stream, a new application for your Mac or PC. Drive File Stream will allow access to all of your files stored in Google Drive from your desktop computer while using less disk space and decreasing sync time when compared to the old Google Drive sync app, which will be retired by Google in March 2018.

Beware: New Malware disguises itself as Adobe Flash update

New ransomware dubbed “Bad Rabbit” disguises itself as an Adobe Flash installer. Please use caution when presented with such a window.

ITS deploys patches for Adobe Flash on Windows computers without need for user interaction, so any users presented with Adobe Flash installer content should be skeptical. If you see these prompts, immediately contact the InfoDesk at 814-332-3768.
