UniDesktop enables you to use a range of University software on your own desktop, laptop or tablet while you are away from the University.
The majority of software is provided using a ‘virtual desktop environment’ that mirrors (as much as our software licensing allows) what you would normally have access to in the Library and School computer labs.
This guide to UniDesktop contains instructions and user guides for Windows, Mac, and smart devices.
OneDrive
We recommend using OneDrive as the best way to access your files wherever you are.
OneDrive is cloud storage from Microsoft. You can access your files from any browser using the Office365 tab in your UniMail. You can also download the OneDrive app to your computer and mobile device to access your files across devices.
For more information, see the IT support webpages.
