When do I use which storage service?

I want to easily store, share and synchronize data on different devices!
I am an employee and need versioning, full text search and collaborative work options for documents!
For large amounts of data I need a network drive on which I can grant access to other members of the university!

  • Working in groups: locking mechanism and comment function enable smooth cooperation on document stocks in groups.
  • Web: Documents can be published on the Web with or without authentication. The URL automatically points to the most recent version, so that the website does not need to be changed for new document versions.
