SWITCHdrive is an academic alternative to commercial cloud storage services like DropBox or Google Drive. Every user has a quota of 100 GB to store, synchronize and work on files at any time and from anywhere. You can share files or folders with other SWITCHdrive or external users. SWITCHdrive is available from a web browser or from the client application (Mac or Windows). Data on SWITCHdrive are stored in Switzerland, that makes this service consistent with UNIL's legal requirements of research data management. Nevertheless, in case of sensitive data, we recommend you to encrypt this data before you upload it on the service.
