Excerpt

UWF provides virtual software access to online students 24/7. The most up-to-date versions of ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced, and ERDAS Imagine are the primary GIS related software utilized to complete course assignments.

GIS Virtual Apps & Desktops hosted within ArgoApps are virtual desktops and applications that run on UWF's servers so students do not need to download or install anything on their personal computer to access. While students do not need to install Citrix Receiver, it is the recommended method to access GIS virtual apps & desktops. Select students can access a virtual desktop 'GIS Online' as well as 'app-only' versions of GIS software (within the apps column in ArgoApps).

Roaming profiles are used to provide a seamless experience regardless of which GIS server is used. Additionally, all users of the virtual desktops for GIS are assigned a "Student Folder" where they can save large data files (typical of GIS) mounted as S:\ Other network drives include:

Network Drives
H:\\argofiler\students\Home\<username>
Student's personal network storage (10Gb limit shared for GIS Online students)
R:\\argo\its\gisonline\Repository
Read-only access to class data and samples
S:\\argo\its\gisonline\StudentFiles\<username>
GIS online specific personal storage, Instructors have access to assist students with assignments.
G: (Kumo)Google Drive File Stream Kumo allows you to easily access files stored in your Google drive from campus computer labs and ArgoApps. See G: Drive (Kumo) for instructions on how to setup this drive Google Drive File Stream for more information.


ArgoApps Lite (HTML5)

ArgoApps Lite (HTML5) is easiest way to access GIS virtual apps & desktops as it requires no software to be installed on your computer. Non-GIS students, instructors or staff who have been given access to GIS apps will be able to see and use all drives mentioned in the video except for the R and S drives. Instead, use your G (kumo) Google drive or H drive.  The process for working with files in the software will be the same.

This video will cover how to access ArgoApps via the Citrix Receiver. This method of accessing ArgoApps is the preferred method - it gives you access to all the drives you could possible need: your local drives, the H, I, R, and S drives, and your Google drives if they are set up through Kumodrive. Non-GIS students, instructors or staff who have been given access to GIS apps will be able to see and use all drives mentioned in the video except for the R and S drives. Instead, use your G (kumo) Google drive or H drive.  The process for working with files in the software will be the same.
