FileLocker
FileLocker is a web based service that allows you to securely share files between individuals both within and outside of UNI. Files are stored temporarily and are eventually removed automatically.
FileLocker is not meant for long-term storage of files. It is intended for ad hoc exchange of confidential files or information. If your need is for repeated transfer of university data to or from an outside entity, you should contact Service Hub for guidance.
How to Access FileLocker
In a web browser, travel to https://filelocker.uni.edu
Log in with your CatID user name and password
You should arrive to a page that looks like this:
How to Upload a File
Click the Upload button located near the top of the "My Files" page.
When the pop-up box appears, you may select an expiration date, add notes to the file, and scan for viruses.
Finally, click "Upload a file" to select a file from your computer to upload to your Filelocker files page with the options you previously specified.
How to Share a File
After uploading a file, click on the file that you want to share and click the "Share This File" button that appears in the drop-down window.
When the pop-up box appears, you can either select to share with a user by searching for them or share with a group by selecting the "Share with Groups" tab.
If sharing with a single user, simply type their username into the box. After a few characters have been entered, a drop-down selection box will appear with matching results so that you can select the correct user. You may also search for a user by clicking the "Name" box and typing in the user's full name, or last name.
If sharing with a group, you must first create a group and add members to it. Then, click the "Share with Groups" tab and simply click the 'share' button.
When sharing with either a single user or a group, you may select the checkbox to notify the user(s) via email so that they know you have shared a file.
Finally, for single-user sharing, click the "Share" button next to the user.
