Your Desktop Services filespace, provided by University Information Services (UIS) can be used to store files which you create on your own computer system or at a Managed Cluster machine, or which you transfer using any standard method of file transfer.
Among other things, your DS filespace can conveniently be used to store backup copies of your files, on a system which is itself centrally backed-up and therefore secure. You can also use it to store and publish personal web pages.
