Faculty, staff, and researchers create and consume data on a daily basis. Keeping that information safe is vital, which requires good data storage to safely backup the information and to distribute data quickly when required.
K-State offers many data-storage options for storing and backing up your computer files. Each option has a unique combination of features so you can tailor your choices to your specific needs. To learn more about the data-storage options that are available at K-State and which one will best fit your needs, view the File Storage Options article.
