Instructions for using the "MyFiles" service at Northeastern

1. In a web browser, enter the URL http://myfiles.neu.edu

2. When the MyFiles screen is active, log in with your MyNEU
username and password on the left side of the screen. Click "GO".

3. Once connected, the top icon bar shows the following icons:

[Up] [Search] [Refresh] [New Directory] [Upload] [Move]
[Copy] [Delete] [Rename] [Download] [Mail To] [Help]

4. Click on the "New Directory" icon.

5. Enter a new directory name, e.g. TimeBasedMedia. Click OK.

6. You will be returned to the main screen. Click on the new
directory/folder that you just created.

7. The directory is empty. Click on the [Upload] icon on the top
tray to load files into your new directory.

8. Select the number of files you will want to upload into your new
directory.

9. In the "Browse" button, locate the file you wish to upload into
MyFiles and click OK.

10. The file is now uploaded into your MyFiles folder. If you
double-click on the file you can open it for viewing.

11. Use download from any URL to retrieve this file for future use.
Use Mail To: to email this file.

12. To "SHARE" this file with someone (e.g. send them a link),
click on the "SHARE" icon next to the filename. You set the
READ/WRITE/DELETE/ADMIN rights for the file for yourself,
other MyFiles users and "public" users (those who do not have
MyFiles accounts).

13. Once you have set the share permissions, click Apply. Select
the "TICKETS" icon on the top and "Create a Ticket".

14. You will create a Basic or Advanced Ticket for a user
(password or no password) and then issue a time limit on the
rights to access this file or folder. Click OK.

15. A resource URL for the ticket will be displayed on the screen.
You can then cut & paste the link or email this link through MyFiles.
This link is used by the recipient to access your file or folders
via a browser.

16. Log out of MyFiles.
