Work that is only stored in one place (eg on a USB stick, or on the hard drive of your laptop) is at risk of being corrupted or lost. If you open a document from an email and edit it without saving it to your filestore, it may be lost when you log off. We strongly recommend that you use one of the centrally provided services to save your work.
Filestore: as part of your IT account, you have your own personal filestore. If you log on to a managed campus machine, it’s already mapped, but you can also set up access from your own devices.
Google Drive: as a member of the University, you have access to Google Drive which gives you the ability to store files in the cloud and access them from a wide variety of devices.
