Help
Contact your instructor for help with course/lab directions. If the issue is a technical one, you can contact Chi Shen cshen@uri.edu .
Getting Started
- Go to https://myapps.microsoft.uri.edu
- Look for two icons "SPSS (Instant-On)" and "SPSS":
- Use the Instant-On option during class / labs with the instructor -- these sessions will start quickly without significant wait.
- Outside of class/lab time, use the regular option, which will take about minutes to start:
- On the next screen, click the SPSS icon:
- Once started, your session should look like this:
Saving
Be sure any work that you want saved
in one of the two storage options described below!
Either use the Home Folder or Google Drive.
Storage - Home Folder
When saving and opening files, you can use the special "Home Folder". This area persists across all AppStream sessions.
If you need to upload to the Home Folder from your own computer:
Storage - Google Drive
You can also link your AppStream sessions to your URI Google Drive.
- Perform the one-time linking -- after clicking Add Storage, select Google Drive, and then login with your URI Google credentials.

- Once linked, the Google Drive option will appear for opening and saving files.
- Getting files in and out of Google Drive continues to be like how you would normally use Google Drive independently of SPSS AppStream -- browse to drive.google.com and use your URI credentials.
Ending Your Session
There are no special directions for ending your SPSS AppStream session. You can just close your browser window / tab.
