Otago File Transfer is used to securely send files to others (within or external to the University) when options such as email or Microsoft 365 OneDrive/Teams are not appropriate/available.
How do I access Otago File Transfer
To access Otago File Transfer:
- Go to Otago File Transfer.
- Log in to the portal using your University email address (firstname.lastname@otago.ac.nz or username@student.otago.ac.nz).
- You may need to authenticate using your University username and password.
If someone outside the University needs to send files to a University staff member or student via Otago File Transfer, they don't need an account created for them:
- The University staff member or student (the receiver) logs in to Otago File Transfer.
- Use the Request files option (under the Mail menu on the left-hand side) to send a Request file link to the non-University sender.
- The non-University sender can use this link to send their file/s.
