How do I access my network storage off-campus?
To access your network storage (Department drive S:/ or Personal drive R:/) from off-campus you will need to do the following:
- Have a WSU laptop. This cannot be done from a personal device.
- 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.
