nÚVol is the name of the University's new personal virtual storage service. It is a system based on the free software product owncloud (owncloud.org), widely used in various fields, including universities. It does not replace the virtual office, which continues to function as a centralised repository of documents, at a personal and groupal level.
Among the most outstanding new features of nÚVol is the ability to share documents or folders with other UV users, and the possibility of synchronising the copy of documents and folders on different devices (computers, mobiles, etc.). It also has similar functionalities to those of commercial tools (Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.).
SECURITY
The virtual storage of the Universitat de València (virtual office and NuVol) uses only the University's own servers. It does not require external servers, an encrypted connection is always established with the servers, which ensures trust in the transmission, and ensures compliance with legislation on information security and data protection.
