Projectboxes for research projects
Project boxes provide an extensive storage quota of 500 GB up to 2 TB.
Project boxes can be requested by IT purchasers from the institutes, but also by student associations and student councils in two ways:
Applying for project boxes via my.sciebo
One can apply for a project box via my.sciebo. Due to the fact that the application should be submitted by the IT purchaser of the organisation, the IT-ServiceDesk will verify at first if the applicant is the IT purchaser as well. If it is not the case, a short confirmation from the IT purchaser will be required (Faculty 10: leader of the institution/student initatives: chair)
Applying for project boxes via e-mail
To set up project boxes, the following information is required:
- Sciebo-ID of the future project box owner
- Project name which only made of lowercase letters and is between 4 and 30 characters long
The project name also has to be alphanumberic,- and_, the latter not to be placed in first or last position, must not contain umlauts, spaces or ß.
Consequently, the naming scheme projektname.pbox@rwth-aachen.de results. - Institute index (IKZ)/institute of the owner
- E-mail address of the department/working group (backup in case the project box becomes ownerless)
- Quota option. Here, sciebo offers the choice between 30 GB, 500 GB, 1.000 GB and 2.000 GB quota.
- Short project description (maximum 150 words)
After creating the project box, the standard duration is 2 years. The duration can be extended at any time by providing a corresponding reason.
Project boxes can be subsequently transferred to other Sciebo-IDs.
If you want to reassign a project box to another sciebo ID, this can be done by the owner of the project box via the option "Manage project boxes" in the mysciebo portal.
Detailed information about project boxes can be found here.
