Using Course Site in LUapps

Using Course Site in LUapps

These instructions help you to complete assignments in Course Site while using LUapps. 

We recommend you follow these Cloud Mounter Setup Instructions to add cloud storage options like Google Drive and Dropbox to LUapps. The storage limit in Dropbox is 5TB, and Google Drive varies depending on your status (See Google Drive quotas).
Both Dropbox and Google Drive provide excellent sharing options for collaborating on group projects.

  1. From the LUapps web page, select and launch the application you need from the alphabetical list. 

  2. When you get to the desktop, find the Google Chrome icon labeled “Course Site” and launch it.

  4. Navigate to your course and locate the file you want to download. Depending on the file type, clicking on the file will either open it or automatically download it to your virtual Downloads folder.

    To choose the save location, right-click the file you want to download, and from the dropdown menu choose Save Link As…

  5. In the Save As… dialog box, in the left-hand column, find the file storage option you want to use (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.).
    In this example, we are using the Google Drive under This PC. 

    If this is your first download, it’s a good idea to create a folder for your homework in this class. To create a new folder within the drive, right-click on the drive, select the New Folder button, and name it. Then, click Save.
