Cloud Storage Integration

We now offer a convenient solution to easily connect your University of Utah Cloud accounts, such as University Box or OneDrive, to the CSBS Virtual Lab applications. This enables you to open and work with your files from the virtual lab and elsewhere.

The instructions below explain how to connect your Cloud Service accounts and how to open and save files in any Student Lab. If you are accessing the Virtual Lab from off campus, you will follow the same steps.


Connecting Your Cloud Account

Before starting the process:

To begin, login to the University of Utah's Cloud Storage Integration Service by navigating to https://kumo.utah.edu.

Opening and Saving Files

You can open or save any files within your Cloud account using the applications in our Virtual Lab. The Cloud locations are located in either the "I:" drive for Box or the "J:" drive for OneDrive. Saving to these drives will upload the files to the respective Cloud accounts automatically.

First, open an application in the Virtual Lab. Instructions on accessing the Virtual Lab can be found on our support page.

Open
With the application running, click on “File”, then “Open”, and select the preferred drive letter to find your files. See image below for visual guidance.

Save
You will save files using a similar process. Click on “File”, then “Save” or “Save As…”, and select the I: or J: drive letters for the preferred location.
