Deprecation of OIT's webfiles.brown.edu service

Authors list

As part of OIT's migration of Departmental File Services in March 2025, OIT is discontinuing our Webfiles.brown.edu service (also known as Fileway). Webfiles provided a mode to access Departmental Shared Files via a web connection, so you could upload and download as needed.

As of March 24, 2025, you can now access your Departmental Shared Files via a web connection to Brown's MyApps service. MyApps gives you access to a virtual computer over the web, and you’ll be able to get to your files, edit them live, or copy them as needed.

You can use MyApps from a web connection on a variety of devices, and don't need VPN to use the service. See go.brown.edu/myappshelp for instructions on getting connected.

If you have any questions or need help with getting set up with MyApps, please contact your IT support staff or the OIT Service Center via help@brown.edu.
