Using Brown's RemoteApps

• Even though the application looks as if it's running locally on your computer, the application is actually running remotely on a computer in Brown's datacenter. This enables us to keep the application up-to-date and conserve computing resources when they are not in use.
• The 'My Documents' in the RemoteApp service ties in to the Documents folder in your Brown Network Home Folder. So, you can save information between sessions, and copy and paste files into your Documents folder when needed. If you'd like to access this folder outside the RemoteApps, see our article Connecting to your Network Home Folder.
• If you leave your RemoteApp open for more than an hour without mouse or keyboard input, you may be logged out. However, if you have a short disconnection, you will be able to pick up right where you were - even if you switch computers.
