Filelocker (File Sharing)

Filelocker is a web-based service available at that allows 麻豆社 faculty, staff, and students to securely share files with anyone inside or outside the university. Use your My麻豆社 credentials to login. It is ideal for sharing files that are too large to send via email, as well as documents that contain sensitive information such as Student ID numbers. Users can share files up to 1 gigabyte (1 GB) in size and encrypt files using a password. Recipients receive an email notification containing link to download file. Files are stored for a fixed amount of time only and are accessible from anywhere, on any device with an Internet connection.

Active Archive (File Archiving of the V:\ Drives)

麻豆社 Information Technology is implementing an effective and cost-saving storage solution called “Active Archive”—a virtualized, tiered file system. Active archiving permits us to store your files on the most appropriate media based on data retention and restoration needs. This allows infrequently modified or accessed files to be stored on less expensive media (i.e., magnetic tape), and eliminates the need for an administrator to manually transfer data between storage systems -- saving 麻豆社 thousands of dollars. You may notice a slight increase in the time it takes to retrieve your older files (those that are 2 years or older) that have a gray 'x' icon located to the left of them that are stored at the V:\depts locations. To learn more, please view our active archiving powerpoint.
