MyWorkDrive

What is this Offering? 

MyWorkDrive (MWD) is a secure, university-managed service that enables faculty and staff to access, manage, and collaborate on TUVAULT file shares from anywhere without needing a VPN. Users can connect via web browsers, desktop clients, or mobile devices. All access is protected by Temple’s Active Directory and DUO two-factor authentication. Data remains securely housed within Temple's infrastructure, ensuring compliance and auditability.
