We use google drive for most of our non-CAD file storage. Here is the link toNER Google Drive.
To log in to the drive you will need to use your @husky.neu.edu email address. It is the same as your @northeastern.edu email. For example - my school email is perry.za@northeastern.edu so my drive email is perry.za@husky.neu.edu.
You will mostly be using the #PROJECT FILES folder. Within that folder, files are organized by Car->System->Project.
