Members of institutions (with orgnames) and teams can use combined folders. Located in the “shared” folder within the private tubCloud directory, they will be set up automatically.
Every institution has 500GB storage at its disposal. Teams need to share their storage with their institution.

Institutions:
Name of shared folder: consists of the domain name followed by “_member” ({orgname}_member)
Quota: 500GB
Members: all employees belonging to the institution
Rights: read and write

Teams:
Name of shared folder: consists of the domain name followed by the chosen group name ({orgname}_{group name} )
Group name: to be chosen at team administration during ownCloud set-up *)
Quota: < 500GB (shared with institution)
Members: all team members
Rights: read and write

Synchronisation:
The synchronisation of the shared folder may have to be adjusted for the clients.

Members of teams are allowed to use collective folders. These are located in your personal tubCloud register in your folder 'Shared'.
Teams are sharing storage space of 500GB with their facility.

Generate a teamfolder in tubCloud

There has to be an existing Team [3] to generate a teamfolder.

Step 1:

Go to your TUB-Portal and direct to IT-Dienste -> Teamverwaltung.
In 'Rollenauswahl' select Teamverwalter.

Step 2:

Mark the wished team and click on Bearbeiten.

Step 3:

In tab Ressourcen: With marking different 'Gruppenfunktionen' (Group-Functions) and clicking on '+', you add special group-functions. After that, select a suitable group-name and define a new domain-name for your facility. To finish the process, click 'Speichern' (safe).

Your teamfolder is now in your team-tubCloud in a folder called 'Shared'.

Name of your shared folder: Is made up of the domain-name of the facility and the selected goup-name. Separated with an underline: ({domain-name}_{group-name}).
You've selected  your group-name while creating your ownCloud-service in your 'Teamverwaltung'.

Quota: < 500 GB (shared with facility)
Members: All members of the team
Rights: Read and write.

Synchronisation:
In some situations it might be usefull to deactivate the synchronisation of the different clients to spare the hard-drive capacity.

Institutions of TUB can purchase additional tubCloud storage within the TU portal under 'Strukturverwaltung' -> 'tubCloud Speicher verwalten'. For this purpose you will need the role 'Strukturverwalter'.

Please keep in mind that the synchronization with your local desktop client can take up to several hours or days in case there is a large amount of data to transfer. We recommend limiting the use of tubCloud to the necessary files.

Please notice that sharing folders with TUB intern or extern persons is just possible with our tubCloud Web-Application: https://tubcloud.tu-berlin.de/ [9]
