File Storage & Sharing Guide

The UCD File Storage & Sharing Guide, which you can read below, gives important advice to staff on how to store and share UCD information. When sharing and storing information, especially personal and sensitive data, you should at all times be mindful of GDPR guidelines and best practices on data protection.

Online File Storage Options

At UCD, Google Drive is our supported file storage and sharing solution, available within the Google Workspace suite of applications. It gives you secure online storage for all types of UCD information, secure sharing and collaboration features, and a secure Shared Drive for your team. Staff access to certain shared Novell drives is granted on request. Find out more below:
