00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:03.960
Services of the University Computer Centre

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.160
The cloud storage service TUCcloud

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.560
Student Clara is fully occupied
with her studies and her part time job.

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:18.720
She therefore uses her commute to work
efficiently to prepare for lectures.

00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.760
She does this easily on her smartphone.

00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.000
However, it would be more practical for her
if notes from her phone

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.960
could be synchronised with her laptop
at the same time.

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:32.160
A cloud would be suitable for this.

00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:35.040
But as she is very mindful
of data protection,

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:37.840
the big providers are out
of the question for her.

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:43.160
Instead, she wants to try the
Chemnitz University of Technology’s TUCcloud.

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.720
The university's own TUCcloud
works like any common cloud service.

00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:51.680
It is a customised version
of the NextCloud software,

00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:54.400
which is hosted on the university's servers.

00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.800
So Clara's data is safe.

00:00:56.800 --> 00:01:00.000
The TUCcloud is free of charge
for employees and students

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.400
and offers up to
10 GB of storage space.

00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:07.560
Additional project directories
with up to 100 GB

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.200
are available to employees
in working groups.

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:14.880
These are commissioned and managed
in the self-service of the IdM portal.

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:18.960
The TUCcloud can be used for studies,
research and teaching.

00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:22.920
It is accessible via the browser,
the sync client for PC

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.440
or the associated apps on mobile devices.

00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.640
For the browser view,
Clara simply goes to the website

00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:33.240
tuc.cloud and logs in
with her user ID.

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:37.800
The sync client for her desktop
system can be downloaded from NextCloud.

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:41.560
This allows her to access
files offline on her desktop,

00:01:41.960 --> 00:01:45.640
and data is automatically synchronised
when she's back online.

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:50.560
To set up one of the apps
she must first enter the server address

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.760
before she can log in
with her university account.

00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:56.880
The address is: tuc.cloud

00:01:57.720 --> 00:01:59.920
She can now upload and download files

00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:03.600
or edit and create documents
directly in the online editor.

00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:08.160
Changes are automatically synchronised
with logged in devices.

00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.680
She can edit common Microsoft
and OpenOffice formats,

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.120
but only create open formats.

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:19.480
To share files with members of the university
she simply has to enter the name

00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:23.480
of the person in the recipient field
and they will be granted access

00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:27.480
provided that they have logged
in to the TUCcloud at least once.

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:30.480
Access can be granted to external persons

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:33.120
via links or their email address.

00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:37.280
When sharing, she can set
writing permissions, a password

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.160
and her own expiry date.

00:02:39.160 --> 00:02:43.120
Because by default sharing
expires within two weeks.

00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:46.560
First shared with her
can be found in the left menu.

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.680
And in case she accidentally deleted data

00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:52.480
there is a data backup
with a restore assistant.

00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.200
Clara has now synchronised
all her devices with the TUCcloud

00:02:57.320 --> 00:03:01.160
and can access her documents
securely from anywhere.

00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:06.400
