Initiative overview

Sunet Drive is a national storage and file-sharing service provided by Sunet, Sweden’s research and education network. The service addresses the growing need for secure, reliable, and high-capacity data storage for researchers, enabling them to work with large datasets and collaborate efficiently across institutions and geographic locations. 

The primary objective of Sunet Drive is to provide a user-friendly platform that supports both individual and collaborative research workflows. Researchers can upload, store, and share large datasets, ensuring data integrity and compliance with relevant security and privacy requirements. The service is designed to handle high volumes of data, which is critical for fields such as bioinformatics, environmental research, AI model training, and other data-intensive scientific activities.

Sunet Drive is integrated into Sunet’s broader digital infrastructure, which includes high-speed networking, identity management (EduID), and other cloud-based services. The service is accessible to universities, research institutes, and other partner organizations, providing a seamless environment for secure collaboration and data exchange. Users benefit from features such as access control, versioning, and synchronization across devices, facilitating both local and cross-institutional projects.
