- Multi-factor Authenticator account installed for VPN. Step 2 on this page: VPN for Employees
Once the above is done you will only need to do these steps to access your network storage:
- Connect to your Cisco AnyConnect VPN client.
- Either Map Network Drives for PCs or Connect to Server for Macs.
