Files and Webspace -
A Comparison
ITS provides two secure Web-based file storage and sharing solutions - Files and Webspace. Use the following overview to help you determin which is right for you.
The new Files service (sometimes called Files 2.0) fulfills most personal, work, research, teaching, and learning needs. It is automatically available to all part- and full-time faculty, staff, and students. It features secure file storage, large quotas, the ability to host public Web pages, and a user-friendly interface. Click for more detailed information about Files.
Webspace is a similar service, but is intended for use by departments who need to store potentially sensitive data, and therefore does not provide functionality for public sharing. Access may be granted to NYU staff members on a by-request basis. To request access, please submit the Webspace Request Form. Click for more detailed information about Webspace.
If you are not sure which service best suits your needs, please contact ITS Client Services by calling 212-998-3333 or sending email to AskITS@nyu.edu. Faculty can also contact the Digital Studio at 212-992-9233 or digital.studio@nyu.edu to set up a consultation appointment.
