There Is Now an Easier Way to Access BearDrive for Faculty and Staff!

There is now an easier way for faculty and staff to access their BearDrive. This convenient way is referred to as BearDrive Desktop. BearDrive Desktop is an application that allows you to access BearDrive from your desktop instead of having to log onto the website. This application makes accessing and saving documents easier. To install this application simply click here for instructions. After you have completed the installation, you will see an icon at the toolbar in the bottom right hand of your screen (Seen in the picture at the right). To then access BearDrive from the icon just right-click and choose “Connect”. Now you can save files like you would normally if you were saving them to your “My Documents” or “My Desktop”; however, instead when you go to “Save As” you will save them to the “BearDrive Home” in “My Computer”. After you have saved in BearDrive Desktop, it is automatically uploaded to your BearDrive, with no additional steps! Another convenient feature is that you can install this application on your work and home computers. This application is only supported by Windows machines at this point. For more information about BearDrive, please visit SupportU or the BearDrive FAQ page. For training on how to use BearDrive, please visit the Center for the Enhancement for Teaching and Learning (CETL). Have a great week!
