Home network drive

Service of Kiel University

The home network drive is available for all employees and students to store and access their research data. Simply use your user ID (e.g. suabc123) to log in and access your files. You’ll have a standard storage quota of 50GB, and if you need more space, you can easily request an increase from the computing center. Your data will be backed up daily for added peace of mind. To see where your personal home network drive can be found, check the CIM portal of the computing center.

Access

Instructions for accessing home network drives can be found here.

Note

Access is permitted for all employees and students.

The service can only be accessed from the university network. Therefore, a VPN connection is required for connections from locations outside the university (e.g. from home).

For more information, see the computing centre’s official service information.

Backups

Daily incremental backups are performed for the last 60 days to ensure data safety.

Recommendations

• Please follow the established guidelines for file and folder naming to ensure efficient and organised data management.

• When storing large data, it is recommended to compress the files to optimise the storage space. If you have too large data, please reach out to the CRC staff for further assistance.
