LITS Box / Google Drive Migrations

Library ITS is piloting a project to migrate departmental data to NYU Box, a secure content sharing and collaboration service. Currently, departmental data is maintained on Library servers/network and remote access is challenging. Box is especially suited for storing sensitive and restricted data. Users can assign collaborators and levels of access. Staff gain cloud- based access to their content, including from mobile devices.

Library ITS is migrating staff personal drives to Google Drive via Google’s sync tool and Group Policies. Google Drive makes document and project collaboration easy. As with NYU Box, staff gain cloud- based access to their content, including from mobile devices.
