1. Download your files from Digital Locker
In order to migrate files from Digital Locker to SkyDrive, you first need to download all of your files from Digital Locker to your computer.
- Browse to https://locker.fcsl.edu.
- Enter your Coastal Login and password as prompted.
- You should now see a list of all your files and folders in the right pane.Select the check box in the header row next to the label Name to select all the files and folders in your directory.
- Click the Download icon from the menu bar above your file and folder list. This will automatically zip all the files and folders in your directory and prompt you to download that zip file.
- Save the zip file to somewhere on your computer that will be easy for you to find later, maybe your Desktop.
2. Extract the files from Digital Locker
Before you can access and edit your files from Digital Locker, we need to extract them.
- On your Mac, simply double-click the zip file and it should automatically extract the files into a folder in the same location with the name of the zip file.
- On your PC, simply right-click the zip file and choose Extract Files. Follow the prompts to extract the files to a folder in the same location as the zip file.
3. Upload the files to SkyDrive
At this time, SkyDrive doesn't support uploading folders so you'll need to create those first. If you don't have a folder structure, you can simply upload the files into your main My Documents folder.
- Browse to http://www.skydrive.com.
- Enter your Coastal Login and password as prompted. This is the same login you use for your email.
- You should now see a list of the default folders created for you on SkyDrive. For our purposes, we're going to upload all the files from Digital Locker into the My Documents folder as only you have access to that folder by default. Go ahead and click on My Documents.
- From the menu bar you can choose to Add Files or Create Folder and then Add Files into it. If you have a PC and are using Internet Explorer you can install the Upload Tool to enable the capability of dragging and dropping the files you want to upload. If you have a Mac, or aren't using Internet Explorer on a PC, then you will have to upload files 5 at a time.
