ServiceGigaMove 2.0
Secure file transfer via link
GigaMove 2.0 is an application operated by RWTH Aachen and is a service for transferring large files and a helpful alternative to sending email attachments. This service can be used by Heidelberg University employees with their Uni ID.
Senders can upload files to the GigaMove server, and the recipient will receive an email with a link to download the file. The file will be automatically deleted from the GigaMove server after seven days. Due to data protection concerns, we would recommend against using comparable commercial services such as WeTransfer.
