  Access via App <app-access>

Did you already request a project folder? If not, please go to :ref:`request-folder`.

Did you request a project folder, but did not get a confirmation e-mail? It can take us a couple of days, but if it is taking a long time, please contact us via research-data@leibniz-zmt.de 

**Got your confirmation e-mail? Great!** Then let's login to the DataCloud and get started! 

There are different ways to access the DataCloud: 

* via an :ref:`internet browser <online-access>`: The browser access is suitable to explore, download and upload files, less to edit and manipulate the content. 
* or :ref:`directly from your local PC <desktop-access>`: We recommend to install the OwnCloud desktop client, as it will give you an access to work with the files directly from your machine.
* or :ref:`via app on your mobile device <app-access>`: This can be especially useful if you want to use the service during fieldwork and be flexible to upload and access data.
