MySBfiles is 500 MB of file storage offered to each Stony Brook student and employee. It makes working in different locations easier.
Students can work on a paper in their dorm room late at night, save it to their MySBfiles, then go to a SINC Site the next day before class and print out the paper from their MySBfiles. Instructors who teach in classrooms or lecture halls which are equipped with computers and Internet access can pull their PowerPoint presentations or class notes up from their MySBfiles instead of taking a laptop or a USB key with them to class.
Benefits to using MySBfiles:
- Files are accessible on any machine with a web browser from on or off campus.
- Files are protected by anti-virus software.
- Files are stored on university servers, so they are not affected if your machine crashes or is stolen. Files are backed up at regular intervals and can be easily recovered.
- Personal Web pages can be hosted in MySBfiles.
