Access UM's Network via UMIT's Approved Remote Access Tools
As you may know, the use of remote access tools to dial in to on-campus computers poses a potential security risk to your and the University's sensitive information. Criminals and hackers often use these access tools to steal information or to mask the activity of computers infected by malware.
In an effort to reduce these types of security risks, UMIT disabled the ability to log in to the UM network through any unsupported tools. Please click here for a full list of unsupported tools.
The following tools are UMIT-approved remote access services, which provide a more secure way to access your data from anywhere in the world:
Box – Access Your Files from Anywhere at Anytime:
- Instead of saving files on your desktop computer, save them in Box so that you can securely access and share your files quickly via the cloud from any of your devices: desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc.
- To log in, please visit: box.miami.edu.
- For information, benefits, and log in information, please review the Box Made for U showcase.
Important Advisory:
In summer 2020, the University of Miami will be streamlining cloud storage offerings by migrating all data from Box to Microsoft OneDrive. Click here to learn more about this important initiative.
