For TU employees, the computer center offers cloud storage in the form of the TUCloud. Initially, 5 GB of storage is available at the Clausthal server location. The storage quota can also be extended for projects and on request. We can also help you plan and configure the service (Owncloud) and advise you on its use, for example on setting up project accounts.

The data center provides central storage space on its servers. This can be designed as a network drive for users and server services or shared for specific use, e.g. as group or team shares. There are also some public network drives, including an area with general software.

If you are logged on to a computer at Clausthal University of Technology with your RZ user ID, you have a personal network drive with 4GB of storage space available in the Windows user home area, which can be enlarged if required.

Access to your personal area is possible with your user account from all computers in the TU Clausthal network. A VPN connection is required for access from outside.

The Cryptshare service enables the secure transfer of files up to a total size of 20 GB and can be accessed at cryptshare.tu-clausthal.de. TU Clausthal users can upload files via the web interface and make them available for others to download or have files uploaded from other sites.

The entire process - i.e. uploading, intermediate storage and retrieval - is secured by cryptographic procedures. Notifications are sent automatically by e-mail. The only requirement is the use of a tu-clausthal.de e-mail address on the sender and/or recipient side.

Both messages and files can be sent to one or more recipients, similar to a normal e-mail. Before sending, you must verify your e-mail and you can also set a password to access the files for additional security.
