Saving Your Work

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.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.
