UB file service (UBfs)

UBfs

UBfs is a file storage location that can be accessed from different platforms in different ways. Files are organized in the following directories:

• Myfiles: for individual files of faculty, student and staff
• Collaboration (Collab): for sharable files by departments and schools
• Research: for active, institutionally sponsored research activity by faculty and staff for defined periods of time

Myfiles

Your Myfiles space is automatically created when your UBITName is created. 250 MB of file space includes your:

• Personal web page if you choose (published at www.buffalo.edu)
