UPDox

From Iskomunidad

UPDox (updox.upd.edu.ph) is a document management system for the UP faculty and some UP offices. Run by DILC, UPDox uses Alfresco and other document collaboration, version control, and file sharing systems. Priority is given to official, University-related use.

Access

  • Within Dilnet: you may have to set proxy exception for the UPDox address.
  • Make sure port 8080 is useable.



Repositories

There are 3 complementary UPDox repositories directly accessible from the user's desktop:

  • UPDox WebDAV Reposity is a directory or folder that can be mounted or accessed directly from the user's desktop or mobile application. Here's how. WebDAV stands for Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning system access via the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
  • UPDox GIt Repository is for collaboration via Git-like repository. Codes, non-large documents (preferably <10MB a file) may be consolidated directly from users' desktops or access devices. Not recommended for large files.
  • UPDox Torrent Sync is for direct within-team sharing of large files a la peer-to-peer torrent. Recommended for large files.


By far, only UPDox WebDav Repository that be directly seen and manipulated from the web-based UPDox Dashboard.

Documents

  • UPDox supports a wide range of document types.
  • Recommendation: Ultra-sensitive documents passed through the Repositories should be encrypted by tools like TrueCrypt. (It's only the "ultra" ones that should be doubly secured, since UPDox already has its own security measures.)



Tutorials



Backup

  • For those using its Repositories, UPDox is already a form of a backup.
  • Yet, UPDox is still backed up in an off-site facility, making the system more disaster-resistant.
