Disable Drives

Teachers can disable USB drives and optical disc drives.

Configuring settings for the Disable Drives function will automatically force Student computers to enter Focus mode after they have been applied to the class.

Students that are in Focus mode will be displayed on the Teacher console with a red frame around the thumbnail.

Teachers can temporarily remove any restrictions on Student computers through the Focus button and selecting Stop next to the Drives option.

  1. Click Disable Drives from the left-hand menu.

  2. Select the drives you wish to disable.

  3. Click Save or Save and Apply.

On macOS, this action is not possible if:

  • A removable drive is used to start up the computer, or

  • The user has open documents on the removable drives when it is being disabled. The documents must be closed first.
