JShare

A little-known, underused service provided by Johns Hopkins to faculty, staff, and students is JShare, a file storage system out there in the cloud. Students are each allotted 5GB of space to upload files, which can be accessed from any location with an internet connection, and can also be shared with anyone who has an e-mail address.  You are given control over who has access to folders and the contents of those folders, and can also track who last modified a file as well as tag files, among other features.

You can access your own JShare link directly, or through the Portal by going to "myApps" -> "JShare" from the left sidebar (shown below).

As long as you stay within the JShare policies, this could be used for a variety of things, from hosting a website to backing up files to storing and sharing files that are being worked on from multiple locations.  Overall, JShare is fairly user-friendly and self-explanatory, though there's not too much to it besides storing files.  Nonetheless, this is a LOT of space for the average Hopkins user, and it's a great, free resource that you should be sure to take advantage of!
