The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar provides all members – students, employees and external persons with a university account – with the option of using a cloud storage service.
The service can be used to exchange and synchronize data. Contacts, appointments and tasks can also be managed – with »Deck«, a Kanban-style organization tool is available for the project organization of teams.
Requirements and notes on use
- The service can be used with a web browser at https://nextcloud.uni-weimar.de/ or with special client software.
- The SCC can provide the Nextcloud client on centrally administered Windows systems. Please contact nutzerservice[at]uni-weimar.de or use our online form »Service Requests and Error Reporting«.
- Cloud content (files, directories, calendars, decks) can be shared with other people, as long as they have already logged in to the cloud once. When doing so, the full names must be entered.
- The storage quota is usually 25 GB per account.
- University Communications provides detailed instructions on how to use the cloud.
Collaborative Work
Office format files (text documents, spreadsheets and presentations) can be collaboratively and simultaneously edited in the cloud. You will need to use a web browser to gain access to the files.
