WARNING !!! These workstations are reserved for members of interdisciplinary projects.
Introducing the Archive Storage Space on make-archives.epfl.ch —your go-to solution for preserving interdisciplinary project history at EPFL! Designed specifically for long-term storage, each project gets up to 10TB of space to securely store past years' data.
This isn't your everyday collaborative drive—it's made for archiving, not frequent file access. Perfect for keeping important project records safe and sound, but not ideal for files you need to check regularly. Think of it as a digital time capsule, preserving your work for future generations!
