Department File Server

files.biola.edu is useful for people who

• need to view and edit shared documents, and
  
• don't find Google Docs to meet their document sharing needs.

Files.biola.edu is an excellent way to retain centralized control of documents without sharing them with specific accounts.

To start sharing data on files.biola.edu, email it.helpdesk@biola.edu and let us know that you want to set up a departmental file share directory on files.biola.edu. Before contacting us, prepare the following information:

• Who from your department will be the file share manager?
• What should the file share be named? Usually, we recommend your department name.
• As far as you know, does your department already have another file share directory on files.biola.edu? If so, what is it called?

• How to Connect to a Files Server on Windows PC

• How to Connect to a Files Server on a Mac

The data stored on files.biola.edu is backed up every night and is easily restored.

No one can access your data unless the file share manager or a server administrator has given the person permission on the server.
