How to Use GUShare

GUShare enables you to securely store and access your files and folders on the Internet. Once your Georgetown files and folders are on the Internet, you will be able to access them from any computer in the world that has an Internet connection and a web browser. Your files will be on servers that are backed up regularly, so you'll always have a copy of your important work available at your fingertips, or for collaborating and sharing files with others.

All faculty and staff are eligible for GUShare accounts. Some students may also be able to obtain a GUShare account.
