Use your locker to upload and store personal files. All files that are stored in the Locker are confidential and can only be accessed by you. This tool is especially useful if you work on multiple workstations, as you can store and access information in a central and stable location. If you wish, you can make certain files public for all users to see.

Different file types can be stored in the locker, including wordprocessing documents, spreadsheets, Zip files, and graphics. The different file types are represented by the graphic beside the file name.

Is there a limit on how many files you can upload?

Yes. Your locker has a 10MB file limit. A storage space indicator bar allows you to gage the amount of space left in your locker. If your locker is filling up, then you will want to delete or move some of your files.
