Data storage for graduate researchers

It is the responsibility of supervisors to request storage for their graduate researchers.

La Trobe University offers a number of options for data storage. For more information about these, please see the Data Ready Storage Guide.

To request access to the La Trobe University research drive (P: Drive) :

• Go to La Trobe University's Ask IS page (Ask Services portal)
• Go to Get Help > Accounts & Access > New File Share
• The nominated share type should be "Research Project"
• If you are a student and don't have access to the New File Share form, your supervisor can submit the request on your behalf and then give you access to the appropriate folder(s) created for you in their account.

Note: Only La Trobe University staff members can request storage space. If you are a graduate researcher, your supervisor can request storage space for you. They then become the owner and manager of this space and can share it with you.

You can contact IS (ext 1500) to discuss your requirements prior to submitting your request.
