MyDrive provides an Internet-accessible file storage repository for UGA students, faculty, and staff. Users can access their personally owned files on MyDrive through MyUGA (my.uga.edu) and non-Web desktop clients.

MyDrive is intended for use only by those directly affiliated with the University of Georgia. Its purpose is to provide a repository for educational, learning, and professional materials which are solely and legally owned by the individual storing the information. Proof of ownership is required for copyrighted material stored on MyDrive.

Nature of Space

• MyID Requirement — Authorization with the UGA MyID (myid.uga.edu) is required to access MyDrive. Use is granted to current students, faculty, and staff with a valid MyID.

• Storage Allocation — Each user is granted 40 megabytes of storage.

• Individual (not Departmental) Storage — The service is for individual use and should not be considered a departmental (or other unit) storage repository.

• Virus Protection — The files contained on MyDrive are not scanned for viruses. Virus protection is the responsibility of the owner of the files.
