FILR & My Files

You can access your blue folder (AKA U drive or server folder) from home!

There are currently two different ways to do this:

1. FILR

FILR gives you access to all of your files and shared network folders from any device or location. Just go to the District main page and click the Faculty/Staff link. Under Online Resources, choose FILR. Log in using your district network credentials.

2. My Files

My Files is a feature offered in Classlink's Leander Launchpad. It provides easy access to all of your U Drive files from anywhere on any device provided you have wifi or cell service.

From a computer:

Simply go to the Leander Launchpad site: http://launchpad.classlink.com/leander

• Once at the site, log in using your computer login.
• At the main dashboard, click My Files at the bottom of the screen.
• Click School Network on the left menu bar.
• Click U Drive, and all of your saved network folders and files will appear

It’s important to note that all files open as read-only…

• If it’s a Microsoft Office file (Powerpoint, Excel, Word), you can make the edits in the online version that opens.
• Then do File>Save or on a Mac, Command + S, and it will prompt you to choose a save location.
• Take that saved file on your desktop (or wherever you saved it to)… it will be called “Office Online……webarchive” and drag it back into the Classlink U Drive webpage.
• Once the archive file appears in the U Drive webpage, double click it, and it will make the change to the existing U Drive file you edited.
• Open the file to verify the changes were made, then you can delete the archive file from the U Drive webpage.

From a mobile device:

It works best if you download/install the mobile app from your mobile device app store. Search for the Classlink Launchpad app. Once the app is installed, do the following:

• Open the app.
• In the Search field at the top of the screen, type in Leander.
• When you see the Leander ISD rocket ship icon appear, tap it.
• You can then log in using your LISD computer login and TAP Sign In (hitting return/enter on the keyboard doesn’t log you in).
• To access the U Drive files, tap the blue three-lines icon in the upper left corner.
• Tap My Files.
• Tap School Network.
• Tap U Drive.
