Cloud Storage

The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar provides all members – students, employees and external persons with a university account – with the option of using a cloud storage service.
The service can be used to exchange and synchronize data. Contacts, appointments and tasks can also be managed – with »Deck«, a Kanban-style organization tool is available for the project organization of teams.

• The service can be used with a web browser at https://nextcloud.uni-weimar.de/ or with special client software.
• The SCC can provide the Nextcloud client on centrally administered Windows systems. Please contact nutzerservice[at]uni-weimar.de or use our online form »Service Requests and Error Reporting«.
• Cloud content (files, directories, calendars, decks) can be shared with other people, as long as they have already logged in to the cloud once. When doing so, the full names must be entered.
• The storage quota is usually 25 GB per account.
• Detailed instructions on how to use the cloud can be found in the »Further information« section on this page.

Office format files (text documents, spreadsheets and presentations) can be collaboratively and simultaneously edited in the cloud. You will need to use a web browser to gain access to the files.

The previous cloud solution (cloud.uni-weimar.de) offered in cooperation with DFN-Verein is going to be discontinued on 30 June 2024. All content that is to remain available after this date must be migrated to the new Nextcloud (nextcloud.uni-weimar.de) as soon as possible. Instructions can be found here.
