Â̲èÖ±²¥ Drive

Â̲èÖ±²¥ Drive provides a way to save and share files online. Cloud-based storage services automatically sync files across multiple devices, making it easier to share them with other users. University members get 100 GB of storage with Â̲èÖ±²¥ Drive and the data is stored securely in Switzerland.

Â̲èÖ±²¥ Drive offers the Swiss university community a secure alternative to commercial cloud storage services. Users can save, synchronise, share and collaboratively edit files quickly and reliably. Â̲èÖ±²¥ Drive can be operated conveniently via browser, desktop client or mobile app. The academic cloud storage service differs from other well-known offerings in one key respect: Â̲èÖ±²¥ Drive runs entirely in the Â̲èÖ±²¥ Cloud. This is connected to the university network and access is AAI-protected. All IT resources and usage data are located in Â̲èÖ±²¥ data centres. In this way, we take the security needs of university members into account in the best possible way.
