Citrix Storefront (the website where apps are listed) uses a browser plugin to detect the Citrix software. The below screenshots are of Firefox, but all modern browsers listed above will need to allow/unblock this plugin. This is the same for all of our web app installations. If any of the screens below don't appear, check for a blocked plugin in the browser address bar.


  1. Go to https://cloudpc.drew.edu/. You will be prompted to log in to your Drew account if you are not already signed in.
  2. The first time you navigate to https://cloudpc.drew.edu/, you will be taken to an informational page in U-KNOW. Choose "Proceed to CloudPC" link.
  3. You will be prompted to install the Citrix Receiver. Click the checkbox to agree with the license agreement (after you read the agreement). Click Install.
  4. After the installer downloads, you may be prompted to Save or Run the file. You will see examples below of Firefox prompts (Save File, then click on it in the Downloads drop down) and Internet Explorer prompts (Run, then Yes).

  5. Click Start. Review and accept the license agreement.
  6. Do not enable single sign-on.
  7. We recommend changing the option for sending usage data to Citrix to "No".

  12. The applications are sorted into categories. These categories are similar to the folders in the previous CloudPC system. 
    If you wish, you can also use the Search bar in the upper right of the CloudPC Desktop.
     
    Please note: Your list of available applications depends on your role(s) at Drew.
