How to Use OakShare: Frequently Asked Questions—OakShare and Other Computing Services

I am a member of the faculty who uses Moodle to share files in the classes that I teach; why ought I to utilize OakShare?

You might want to utilize OakShare for departmental, research, and other academic communications/collaboration. You should use (or continue to use) Moodle for all communications and file-sharing that is directly related to the courses that you teach.

Why should I continue to use Shares in lieu of OakShare?

In moving to OakShare, your department, workgroup, et cetera might continue to have additional space or file service needs that OakShare is unable to meet. For example, large databases will not work properly in OakShare. Also, other very large files (exempli gratia, image files) might require Shares.
