Connect to UWStudent and Classfiles Storage with a MacOS Device

Introduction

Mac users who want to map a drive or have direct access to their UWStudent storage can follow the instructions below. Direct access would be via UWyo wireless, or an on campus wired connection. If you are off campus and want to connect to these drives, you will need to connect to WyoSecure via Ivanti VPN. For instructions on how to do that on your Mac, please consult this KB article: https://uwyo.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/1940/Portal/KB/Article/157291/Setting-up-Ivanti-Secure-on-Mac-Computers

Procedure

If you are off campus, please connect to the UW network with Ivanti Secure before doing these steps.

1. In Finder, select Go and then Connect to Server or press Cmd+K
   
   
   
    
2. In the Connect to Server window, type  smb://studentfiles.uwyo.edu/profiles$/folders
   
   
   
   
3. Note: cifs:// may be used instead of smb://
    
4. After selecting Connect, you will see a status window followed by a Login prompt. Enter your UW credentials into the appropriate fields. Name: username@uwyo.edu, where username is your UW domain username, Password: is your UW/Wyoweb password.
   
   
   
    
5. After successfully entering your credentials, you should see a window and desktop icon labeled folders.
   
   
   
    
    
   Note: The icon may not appear on your desktop depending on your machine’s settings.

Classfiles Storage:

Follow the same procedure as for UWStudent Storage, but use the following address:
