Cloud services
Cloud services enable you to store important data online, edit it and share it with other users. The data is stored on a central BTU server and backed up daily via the central backup system.
You can access the content worldwide. This access is possible via a web browser or a network resource (WebDAV).
In addition, you can connect your cloud data as a normal Windows network drive on the campus network (or via a VPN connection).
