Following the expiry of the lease for the "J-storage (nextcloud)" online storage system, a new "J-storage box" online storage system will be launched in March.
1．Who can use the new system
Because of the licence agreement, the people who can use the new system are different from those who can use the current system.
The statuses that can use the new system are as follows:
Faculty (full-time)
Administrative/technical Staff (full-time), Office Assistant, Research assistant worker, temporary staff, Contract Staff (rehired)
Researcher (employed by JAIST), JSPS Research Fellowship
Regular Student
* Part-time Lecturer, Visiting Professor, counsellor, Division of Transdisciplinary Sciences Student (enrolled in KANAZAWA University), Non Degree-Seeking Student, Postdoctoral reseacher, Visiting research fellow, Collaborative research fellow, Contracted researcher, Dispatched researcher and account that was applied for extension is not available.
It is also not available to those graduating or retiring at the end of March.
The current system will continue to operate until around the end of April as a data migration period, but there may be service interruptions due to outages and services may not be restored.
Users are encouraged to prepare in advance for the data migration.
2．For those who have a free account on box with a JAIST address.
If you have a free Box account registered with your JAIST e-mail address, you cannot use the J-Storage Box because the Box uses your e-mail address as the primary key.
For those who are eligible to use the new service box and have a free account with a JAIST address on the box,
please change your primary email address to something other than a JAIST address by the end of February.
Please note that free accounts should not be deleted.
(When a free account is deleted, it will not be possible to create an account using the email address associated with that account for approximately 120 days).
* How to change primary email address
After logging in to box with the target free account, please perform the following operations.
Top right top My icons -> Account settings -> Login and email address -> Add email address -> Change to primary after email confirmation
