VPN connection required
The following steps require you to first make a connection to the campus VPN if you are using a minimally managed or personal device or are off campus. (VPN instructions for Mac). Your Multidrive will only function while connected to the Internet with a working secure VPN connection. If you disconnect from the Internet or wake your device from sleep, you will likely have to reconnect the VPN first before being able to access the Multidrive.
