Using the NetStorage System

NetStorage is a web-based file storage system available to students at Hamline University. Each student is assigned a 200 MB "private" space in the NetStorage server. NetStorage allows users secure file access from any Internet location – with nothing to download or install on the user’s workstation.

NetStorage is a system where you can save and retrieve material from the network in addition to using disks, USB Flash storage, etc. With NetStorage, you can securely access files from any Internet-enabled machine. You can copy, move, rename, delete, read, and write files between a local workstation and the Hamline storage network. There is no need to e-mail or copy data from one machine to another. NetStorage files are permanently stored, backed up and available to you through the Hamline network. This makes it a more suitable option for backing up documents.
