Nexus Share Drive

Nexus Share Drive

Use Case

The Nexus Share Drive was established as a method to store larger, long term files. This includes:

  • Ops digital media (photos, videos, etc.)

  • Subteam video tutorials

  • Flight test logs over 2 terms old

  • All other files from OneDrive that are no longer frequently accessed

Nexus Share Drive is jointly owned by Operations Leads and Team Directors.

Share Drive Access

Unlike the team OneDrive, the share drive contains files that are accessed by very few team members. As a result, access is limited to a few team members.

Access Levels

Tier 1 (Admin): Directors, Operations Leads

  • Allows file read and write

  • Allows add/remove of group members

  • Gives access to group manager permissions

Tier 2 (General): Subteam Leads and Project Managers, as needed

  • Allows file read and write

If you need to be added to either of these access groups, ping Ops Leads in #ops-administration.
