Micro Focus Filr is a service offered by MLC Network Services to give students, faculty, and staff access to their files stored on the campus file servers wherever they are … on (almost) whatever device they want!

You'll need to know what your MLC Account login credentials are, so have those handy. When you are ready, then do the following:

• visit http://filr.mlc-wels.edu in your browser
• provide your MLC Account username and password when prompted

That's it! You are now logged into MLC's Filr instance and can take a look around. Here is a brief look at what you have access to:

This is a look at your personal files stored on campus. You can find WINDATA, which is also know as the I: drive, where you have been storing things when logged into the campus network. You can also create folders and add new files as well. Click around into folders, on files, download files, view information, and much more!

Sharing is one feature of Filr, so you can share files with those a part of the campus family. This is where you will find the files that have been shared with you from other people.

Here you can find all of the files you have shared with me. Check to see who you have shared them with, what their status is, and share new files as well.

Here are the folders usually found in the Groups folder, or the G: drive. These folders are shared with many individuals and need to be explicitly setup but Network Services. If you feel you are missing access to key folders and files here, please contact Network Services so that they can look into it.

Filr is not just a website, it is also a number of applications available on a number of computing platforms to give you access to your files from a number of devices.

Filr is available for Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X. This application provides access directly from your computer wherever you have an internet connection. You are then able to download those files explicitly, or access them only the you need them.

To install the application, do this:

• log into the Filr website (see above)
• click on your name in the upper-right of the page
• click on Download Filr Desktop App
• choose your platform, download, and install

That's it. Follow the instructions from there. The one piece of information you will need is the site URL:

• https://filr.mlc-wels.edu

Otherwise, it is pretty straight forward.
