Introducing Box Drive
August 1, 2017, by UNH IT Staff
Box Drive is like a shared network drive without the hassle of mapping or connecting to a VPN for access.
Box Drive is here. Think of it as a shared network drive, except it doesn’t need to be mapped and you don’t connect to the UNH VPN to access it (on or off campus). In fact, once files are saved to Box Drive, they are automatically uploaded to the Box at UNH cloud, protecting them for hard drive failures and accidental damage while allowing for easy sharing, linking, and accessibility on any internet-connected device globally.
There are a few important things to know about Box Drive, including limitations, supported operating systems, and basic how-to’s. This information is available in the UNH IT Knowledgebase here: https://www.unh.edu/it/kb/article/box-drive-information.html
Installation instructions are also available in the UNH IT KB here:...

Carol Pugh, UNH Health Services

Tableau is a data visualization software that lets you easily connect data to create interactive, sharable dashboards.

Summer’s here. It’s time to hit the wide-open road for adventures near and far, whether it’s to Dayton, Maine or Dayton, Ohio. Gone are the days of wiping our chicken-greased fingers on a Texaco road map simply because most of us no longer keep one in the glove box (although they come in mighty handy if you’re exploring the township areas of Maine or other remote spots that...
