In the Engineering Computer Labs, your Desktop files and the "My Documents" folders are stored on a file server and are mapped to the U:\ drive with a 2GB quota per user.  You can also remotely access your data on the U: drive by using a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) client on vclfs.eng.umd.edu.  See Citrix Virtual Computer Lab (VCL) for more details.

Another feature we provide in our computer labs and on the VCL is access to TerpDrives via Kumo Cloud Storage Integration. Essentially, this a way to access several cloud storage solutions: Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and local file shares. Log in to Kumo to set up and authorize your storage accounts. See TerpDrives for more information.
