Switch Drive provides a way to save and share files online. Cloud-based storage services automatically sync files across multiple devices, making it easier to share them with other users. University members get 100 GB of storage with Switch Drive and the data is stored securely in Switzerland.
Switch Drive offers the Swiss university community a secure alternative to commercial cloud storage services. Users can save, synchronise, share and collaboratively edit files quickly and reliably. Switch Drive can be operated conveniently via browser, desktop client or mobile app. The academic cloud storage service differs from other well-known offerings in one key respect: Switch Drive runs entirely in the Switch Cloud. This is connected to the university network and access is AAI-protected. All IT resources and usage data are located in Switch data centres. In this way, we take the security needs of university members into account in the best possible way.
