Files.Warwick is an online file sharing service provided by IT Services at files.warwick.ac.uk. You can use it to upload your files, access them anywhere online and share them with other people. You can send file download invitations to others – students, staff and people external to the University – and receive files from them too.

Files.Warwick is ideal for when you need to send or receive files over 10 MB in size, which is the limit for incoming and outgoing email attachments at Warwick.
