Google Drive is the recommended data storage service for most types of University data. Unlike other data storage services available to University users, Google Drive provides unlimited storage. Google Drive includes dozens of critical security features specifically designed to keep data safe, secure and in your control. These include encryption in transit as your data moves from your device to Google, as it moves between Google’s data centers and when it is stored on your mobile device.

Data stored in Google Drive is available through a web interface, mobile applications, or on your computer through the desktop application. Changes made on one device are synced across all your devices. Google Drive also provides access to previous versions of files you may have changed.
