Remote access to Aalto storage services
Your data in Aalto network storage (home, work or teamwork) is accessible remotely through VPN. You can download VPN software to your personal device.
Good alternative for non-confidential data are the Aalto cloud storage services: OneDrive for Business, Google Drive and Dropbox.
We recommend research groups to have a shared network folder for storing research data. Data stored only in individual devices, external drives or personal folders can be difficult to access and share remotely.
