Access period of sciebo
On this page you will learn about the access period in sciebo.
Participation in sciebo is bound to the membership of your respective institution, e.g. RWTH Aachen University. As soon as the duration of your sciebo account has to be renewed, the user will receive a notification email. You can renew your account duration through the official sciebo site using My.Sciebo.
Expiring date
You can use sciebo for six months after you lose the membership of your institution(example: exmatriculation).
The overview of deadlines is as follows:
- expiration date = registration date + 6 months
- suspension date = expiration date + 6 months = registration date + 12 months
- deletion date = suspension date + 3 months = registration date + 15 months
Extend the account
In order to extend your sciebo account (see above for requirements) do the following:
Step 1
Open my.sciebo.
Step 2
Click Renew account.
Step 3
Confirm the extension.
Secure shared directories
Important: We generally do not recommend collaborating in private directories. Instead, you can request a project box.
If you are using one of your directories to collaborate with others and your affiliation with RWTH is about to expire, you must secure the files from the shared directory.
Unsecured files will be deleted once your Sciebo access expires and will no longer be accessible to others.
Before you leave your department, please transfer ownership of the directory to a successor via the web interface. Simply sharing the data via a share is not sufficient to back it up.
