Please note:

Accessing Files within UConn Anyware from Outside the System

Data saved to these locations are only accessible in UConn Anyware. If you need to access to a copy of these files outside of UConn Anyware, you need to save a copy of the desired files in a location that is accessible outside of UConn Anyware. Some options include:

• One Drive

• HuskyCT

• Portable Storage Devices such as:

  • Flash Drives

  • External Hard Drives

Affiliation with the University of Connecticut grants access to One Drive as an option for cloud-based data storage. Uploading files onto these locations will allow them to be accessed both inside and outside of the UConn Anyware system, on the condition that the same account is signed in both in and out of Anyware.

Printing to Wepa printing locations is an option available from all Anyware Desktop sessions whether you are using an iPad, Android, Mac, Window client, or a web browser (Safari or Chrome).
