[Yr11 Information Technology] Google Drive in Schools

[Selina Dennis]

Hi Lucas,

 

We use Google Drive as well as Hangouts, Docs, etc. through eduSTAR, but our
network technicians had to add some exceptions to the network firewall rules
for all functionality to work.

 

I believe they found the information they needed here:

Hope that helps,

Hi all,

Sorry for the crosspost.

 

I'm currently having issues with Google Drive not synchronising and working
when I log into the eduSTAR network here at Lalor SC.  I'm trying to
convince my IT network guys that Google Drive is working in other schools,
as they believe it cannot work in public schools. I believe it's a firewall
issue that's preventing me (and all other staff who use Drive) to
synchronise their files at school - hence instead of not using the
technology, we instead keep our sync to using our home network.  

 

We've currently lodged a request with our ISP but it's taking over a month
to get any sort of progress on this issue, so I'm wondering if anyone is
using Drive seamlessly in their school, I'd like to pass on some of the
technical staff details to our staff for further communication.

 

Any tips or tricks for synchronising Drive would be appreciated.

 

thanks,
Lucas
