Currently, the files that are associated with our courses are not protected nor accessible. The external drive (M drive) will allow all of our course files, in development and in production to be in an accessible and safe location that uses a consistent naming system.
By having a systematic storage space for our files, these can be easily accessed by DLC staff members and will be backed location for protection. - up in a safe.
The goal is to clean up the M drive structure to keep files safe and the ability to run auto updates to back up files. This will also help define to the whole office where to find a course and building files that are needed by all team members.
the M drive's purpose is to house course files that are used for an external audience.
