On the tenth day of Christmas IT gave to me…
Filr
Filr is a ‘sync and share’ service similar to Google Drive and other similar cloud services. Our Filr service, however, has the benefit of giving you access to files being stored and managed on Barton Peveril IT Services’ own servers. While Google Drive is the IT Services team’s favourite place to store work, Filr will be useful for those that have not yet made the move to G Suite and want to continue to use the college’s traditional file servers.
Filr allows staff and students to access their files and folders from a desktop, web browser or mobile device. There are mobile apps for iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets. Files can be accessed from a web browser in college or at home and shared with other staff or students. Additionally, there is also a Windows and Mac client which allows files and folders to be synchronised with a home desktop or laptop.
