+The Neurocloud server is used primarily as a platform to share data with researchers located in  institutions other than the TU Dresden. It's based on the widespread software //NextCloud// and compatible with NextCloud's client software available for MS Windows and OSX. This optional software enables the synchronization of group folders located in the Neurocloud with local folders on your PC.
 Please keep in mind that the group folders can be very large, so it's better to just synchronize a selection of subfolders needed for your daily work.

+===== Note regarding the group folders =====
+Researchers working locally at the TU Dresden more often than not access the group folders directly,  skipping the Neurocloud server altogether. For this reason, certain metadata changes like creating or deleting files, if done this way, might take up to one hour to be reflected in the Neurocloud server. However, the //content// of the files isn't affected by this lag and is immediately available on Neurocloud server.
