WiFi and Mobile Services: Secure wireless Internet and additional mobile services help you stat connected on campus and off. Visit the Wireless Access Info page for connecting your device to UB's wireless networks. Click here for Mobile Email Access instructions.

Remote access to your on-campus computer files and drives allows you to work as though you were on campus. The UB-supported programs, Citrix and VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), let you view and edit documents from your Mac or PC; Citrix also allows access via iPad or iPhone. Click to learn more and download the software.

Online Storage Drives provide storage space for:

  • personal use (M: drive)
  • webpage files (H: drive)
  • class files for students (S: drive), or
  • departmental/cross-departmental files (R: and T: drives)
  • OneDrive.

The lettered drives (H, M, R, S, T) are accessible when logged on a campus computer or, when off campus, through MyUB. Learn more about network drives on the Computer Accounts page. You can also request space on the H: drive for students. Visit this page for more information.

If you need a place for students to virtually drop assignments or large files, you can also request an FTP drop box for each class. This is a good alternative for instructors who choose not to use Sakai for classes. If you're interested in either option, contact the OTS Call Center.

Online Security:  OTS will never ask you for your password and we will never send you an email asking for it. Any request for personal information or passwords from any party should be verified by phone or in person. For more about Internet safety and security, visit the Online Security page.
