Ever tried to share a large presentation, a brochure design or a photo series only to have your email reject the attachment? And are those free online services really secure?
The university has clear guidelines for safely sharing files.
The Tool Picker: your first stop
Always check the Tool Picker first. Select 'File sharing' as a category to see an overview of secure methods recommended by the university.
SurfFilesender: ideal for external collaboration
SurfFilesender is the ideal solution for working with external partners. It includes a useful feature that allows you to send a guest invitation to external users, so they can use the service as well.
Always use SurfFilesender when working with external partners. Then you guarantee that all materials are transferred securely and that you comply with the university's information security policies.
Why this extra step?
You might be wondering why we can't just use a popular commercial service? The answer comes down to security and compliance. Using university-approved tools ensures that:
- Your data is transferred through a secure channel.
- The privacy of all parties is protected.
- You comply with university policies and legal requirements.
- Your colleagues know where to find shared files.
Tip
Make SurfFilesender your default tool when briefing external partners. Tell them in your initial email this is your standard method for file exchange. This sets clear expectations from the start and prevents them from suggesting their own, potentially less secure, alternatives.
