A sensible soultion, and something i hope will happen on the system in future.  It just makes sense?

Does anyone know how to get a youtube downloader to work on our c2k machines? I've tried loads. They either say blocked or require proxy settings changed.

Many thanks

@New2C2k contact the helpdesk and they will generate a report on usage. The Art department here is the biggest culprit. They had one folder at 32Gb and had copied it to two other locations on the staff drive. 

This has been a total nightmare for me.  I've asked a dozen time Ma during the year and got the Principal to mention it at staff briefing.  2 weeks ago our Staff drive was full and staff users complained they couldn't save stuff! 

It's got to the point I've had to go through all the staff shared directories and upload large files to my OneDrive and not one person has reported to me that they've lost any of it.

This has freed up about 60GB of storage from a 2TB drive.  I still can't figure out who is using such large amounts of storage especially when all users have access to 1TB on Google drive and 1TB on OneDrive.  I just wish C2k would put a limit of the staff 'My Documents' and force users to start using the cloud drives that are accessible to us all now. 

The support site with user guide etc can be found on:

It looks like it does not have any inbuilt wifi capability or wireless screen mirroring.

Capita Edu Sales can get you prices for connecting them to network ports but it might not be worth it depending on users and how they intend to use it.

A Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter might be worth trying with them so they can work wirelessly to mirror and operate the Surface Pros.

Thanks Casper for all the work you put into this forum. It has helped me a lot over the years.

We have just had a couple of departments refurbished and as part of that project there are new Promethean LX75 interactive 4k touch panels installed does anyone know if they can connect to the C2k Wireless or do they have to be a hard wired connection i can't get an answer from anyone here and i have searched Prometheans website and can't get a manual.
