New Filr Update

Beginning July 22nd, 2022, the SPH Filr system will be upgraded to version 4. Along with this update comes a few UI and feature differences.

Why are we upgrading?

You will still log in using your Harvard Key credentials.
The server’s name and webpage locations will remain https://filr.sph.harvard.edu.
You will still be able to upload and download files from your SPH shared folders.

You can now preview most files in your browser without downloading the file first.
The site has several visual changes and the location of the navigation bar has moved.

The new Filr website will still be accessed at https://filr.sph.harvard.edu, but the page layout and icons have changed.

You will continue to use your Harvard Key username and password to log in.
Please remember the Filr system should only be used to access data security level 3 or lower files. More information can be found at https://policy.security.harvard.edu.
