At my previous institution we have had very good success with Filelocker.
The only real challenge was convincing users that it was not permanent
storage. Other than that, I would highly recommend it and have recommended
it here for later this year.

Technologies for Research Departments



Hello,



I am looking for some information to what technologies other smaller
research institutions are using to support the faculties needs for securely
transferring files off campus. Currently we have faculty using personal
encryption technologies ( which they are likely attaching to their emails)
but I would like to provide a more scalable service to the community that
will also help strengthen the partnership between IT and faculty. We would
need this technology to be able to satisfy ITAR, EAR, CUI, file transfer
requirements as well so we can provide a one stop shop for all secure file
transferring needs. I have heard institutions using Accellion and/or
Filelocker but I am not familiar with these products other than the
documents online. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.





Best Regards,
