What is it?
Filehost is a Lane specific file syncing and sharing service, running on an application called OwnCloud. It is a service very similar to Dropbox or OneDrive. OwnCloud is an open source application that we manage ourselves, on our own hardware. OwnCloud's sync apps keep your files synced across almost any device: Mac, Windows, Android, or iOS. To manage sharing files, and single file uploads, there is a web interface accessible from any modern browser.

Usage Guidelines
-
Resources at Lane are not infinite. No matter how much we try to make them so. Only store college, work related files on Filehost. Please do not store personal music, pictures, books, or student data etc..
-
Make sure to share all your files with appropriate people. In the event you are unable to work, make sure your essential files aren't trapped in your account when your backup person needs them
