UVM’s File Transfer Service is available for sharing files and folders that are too large to send as email attachments or are in a file format not accepted by UVM’s email servers for security reasons.
Anyone can use this service to transfer up to 100GB of files and folders, as long as a UVM affiliate is among the senders or recipients of a transfer.
After a file or folder is removed from the server, it cannot be re-obtained. The original sender will need to send the file or folder again.
