 +<note tip>Due to popular request, while nextcloud is accessible for file upload and sync only through SISSA network or VPN, we have enabled the visibility of share links outside SISSA. That is, if you share a file on nextcloud creating a link, the link will be accessible from everybody who has the link on the internet. Remember only that if you share an entire directory, outside SISSA it will be possible only to download it in its entirety as a zip file, not to choose ​the files.</​note>​

 +Apart from the web interface, there are two more usage strategies: ​
 +  - to back up automatcally your laptop critical data, install the agent on your OS, and choose to sync your document folder.
 +  - to upload files without keeping them in sync automatically,​ but accessing them as a file system simply configure a WEBDAV client (see your OS documentation,​ most have one built in) pointing to https://​nextcloud.sissa.it/​remote.php/​webdav/​ with your username and password.
 +
 +If you plan to use it for massive data storage and the basic storage quota (10Gb) isn't enough, feel to write a mail to [[helpdesk@sissa.it]] to have it increased to 100Gb.

 +Please note this is not connected with your home directory, that is also properly backed up...
