What is myFiles?

myFiles is a web-based file management system which provides easy access to 100MB of free student data storage unique to every student of The University of Queensland. It can be accessed from any computer with web access via my.UQ, which means you can save to and download from your free student data storage from home, from a Library branch machine, or any other computer in the world.

The free student storage space is frequently used for two purposes:

1. Storage Space
   100 MB is a significant amount of space and is therefore useful to transport large files without the need to pay for USB drives. It can also be considered a useful repository to store copies of important files for backup purposes.
2. Web space
   Students can opt to make certain files in their data storage available to all via any web browser by publishing them.

The following pages will demonstrate how to access and use the most important features of myFiles to store, retrieve, manage and web publish the files stored in the free student data storage space:
