======= cloud storage =======
In cooperation with the GWDG (the univeristy's computing centre) we offer you - on top of your home directory - 10GB of cloud storage via ownCloud. [[https://owncloud.gwdg.de|Sign in]] using your **student email-address** and the corresponding password. There are also clients for Windows, macOS and Linux that can be used to syncronize folders to your hardrive.

The 50GB cloud storage are free of charge, your data is accessible worldwide and stored on GWDG servers in Göttingen. 

Limitation: it is not possible to use the desktop client on studIT computers. A full ownCloud would cause problems with your home directory.
