Ten years of BayernShare: 120,000 users at 24 institutions

In 2013 and 2014 the LRZ and the RRZE independently looked for a data-protection-compliant alternative to commercial providers and both chose PowerFolder; LRZ Sync+Share and FAUbox launched in autumn 2015 and merged into BayernShare in 2022. For the anniversary the computing centres report around 120,000 users at 24 Bavarian institutions, some 500 million files and roughly 600 terabytes of data, with 50 gigabytes of storage per account.
