MyDrive/MyWeb provides an Internet-accessible file storage repository for UGA students, faculty, and staff. Users can access their personally owned files on MyDrive through MyUGA (my.uga.edu) and non-Web desktop clients.

Nature of Space

• MyID Requirement — Authorization with the UGA MyID (myid.uga.edu) is required to access MyDrive. Use is granted to current students, faculty, and staff with a valid MyID.

• Storage Allocation — Each user is granted 100 megabytes of storage.

• Individual (not Departmental) Storage — The service is for individual use and should not be considered a departmental (or other unit) storage repository.

• HTML and Javascript only — MyDrive/MyWeb Student/Faculty/Staff Web Page Hosting is designed to serve only HTML and Javascript web pages. PHP, ASP, CGI, and executable files are not permitted.

• Backup Policy — System-wide backups are maintained for disaster recovery purposes. Each user of MyDrive is expected to keep current backups of his/her files on personally owned electronic or print media.

• Secure Connection — MyDrive/MyWeb accepts only secure connections. Currently supported secure methods to connect to MyDrive/MyWeb are via Web Browser (https), via Secure FTP® (FTPS), and via WebDrive® (secure WebDav).

• Virus Protection — The files contained on MyDrive/MyWeb are not scanned for viruses. Virus protection is the responsibility of the owner of the files.

• Downtimes — As is the case with all computer systems, MyDrive/MyWeb will occasionally be unavailable for maintenance or upgrades. Whenever possible, reasonable notice of downtime will be provided via the UGA Portal (my.uga.edu) announcements.
