Using Kumo
You can now access your UF OneDrive and Google Drive cloud storage on UFApps, just like you would access the M: drive!
Kumo is the name of the tool that will assist you with the initial setup, as well as add additional cloud storage in the future. We hope to add additional cloud storage options in the future. Stay tuned!
Microsoft has changed their policy and now requires application secrets to be renewed annually (previously they were valid indefinitely). If someone updates the secret/API key on the Kumo portal’s Admin page, users will need to re-link their storage accounts. You can check the validity of the application secrets directly in the Azure portal.
There are two ways to setup your Kumo profile:
- Launch Kumo profile setup from within your session
- Go directly to the https://kumo.apps.ufl.edu webpage before you start your session in UFApps
If you launched a session but never set up your Kumo profile, you may receive the message shown below. In this case, click on Setup. A browser window will launch the web page https://kumo.apps.ufl.edu where you can set up your profile.
