What is FileLocker?
Filelocker is a secure file transfer site. You can use it to share files with other people or ask that someone share a file with you.
Filelocker is useful for the following situations:
- You need to share a file that is too large to send via email (>25 MB for Bmail)
- You need to share a confidential file securely (email is not secure, so you cannot use email to transfer a confidential file)
- You need to share file type that cannot be transferred via email
Files can be shared within Bucknell University or with external computer users.
