Cloud Apps enable faculty, students, and staff to access applications from any device at any location with internet access.

Access applications without needing to visit a computer lab, download the software, or have a powerful computer.

All active BYU students and faculty can access Cloud Apps through cloudapps.byu.edu. Applications will vary depending on what is needed for the job or class.

You can use Cloud Apps on a laptop, smartphone, or tablet device.

• When launching an application, users will be prompted to authenticate with Box (NetID@byu.edu).
• After authenticating, users will have access to files saved in Box and will not need to re-authenticate on subsequent logins.

• Using the Citrix Workspace app will allow you to display Cloud Apps in a separate window, like a native application. The Citrix Workspace app also allows you to access local hardware such as local hard drives, printers, thumb drives, and a mouse for the iPad when using Cloud Apps.
• The light version will display Cloud Apps through the browser rather than a separate window and will NOT allow you access to local hard drives, printers, and thumb drives.

1. Download and Install the Citrix Workspace app from the Citrix download page Note: Do not enable single sign-on
2. In the Add Account field enter the following address: https://byuapps.cloud.com
3. Enter your NetID@byu.edu and associated password
4. Run desired application by selecting Apps -->All Apps --> (Your Desired Application)

When running an application go back to the cloud apps page and select another application. When you run that application there will be tabs that you can switch applications from. For a mobile device select the drop-down arrow and select switch to switch between different Cloud Apps applications.
