Bobcats get access to an improved, secure file transfer system starting Thursday, Oct. 15.
The all-new TXST File Transfer will be powered by LiquidFiles, a virtual app that helps companies and organizations send, receive, and share large files rapidly and securely. It replaces a long-standing university file transfer program and offers several unique features.
Using the system, all Bobcats will have the ability to transfer files within the Bobcat community. Texas State employees – including student employees – can also use the system to share with external collaborators.
Users will access TXST File Transfer through a web browser. It includes new features to make file transferring easier than ever. Bobcats will still have the same ability to send and request files from individuals as before, but now they will have more complete list of features, including:
- Send a file to one or more people
- Request files
- Receive notifications when files are uploaded
- User File Drop
- A URL you can use to securely send and receive files
- Group File Drop
- A permanent file drop location that can be set up as a form to securely receive/notify a group upon receipt of files
- FileLink
- Upload a file and get a randomized URL to share with anyone you want to download the file.
