Downloading Files to OneDrive in FalconApps using Edge

Overview

The FalconApps server is an application delivery server that allows you to access software applications that are owned by the college and housed on-campus - from anywhere and on both Windows and Apple computers.  

In situations where you cannot save files locally, you will need to use your H: drive.  Once you save on the H: drive, you will then need to access it via Microsoft Edge and upload it from the FalconApps server to OneDrive.  Here is how you can accomplish that:

Saving Files to H: From OneDrive

1. In FalconApps, Run Microsoft Edge.
   
   
2. In Microsoft Edge from FalconApps, you need to set it to ask you where to download files.  Start by clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner, then Settings.
   
   
3. Next, in the left pane, click on Downloads.
4. Now, click and toggle the option on for Ask where to save each file.
   
   
5. You can close this tab in Edge and continue.
6. Log into FalconLink (https://falconlink.cedarcrest.edu) in the Edge instance in FalconApps.
7. Click on the Microsoft OneDrive icon -- install the browser extension if prompted (you should only have to do this once in FalconApps Edge.
8. Once in OneDrive, locate the file you need, then click the three dots to the right of the filename, and select Download. 
   
   
9. In the Save As dialog box, click the down arrow and select the H: drive from the list.
   
   
    
10. This will save the file to your network drive, H:.  Next, you will need to upload this to Canvas (or any other site you need it), which you can do from Edge by clicking on Cedar Crest Online (Canvas) in FalconLink in the same Edge browser you are already in.
