Here’s a quick guide for signing into common services.

Adobe Products

  • Adobe Creative Cloud will launch automatically in the background after logging into your account

    • If you don’t see the highlighted icon from the below image in the top right, check your Applications folder for it and launch it from there

  • Select the highlighted icon

  • Enter your unid@utah.edu in the email address field (e.g. u123456@utah.edu), then click ‘Continue’

  • The following screen will open. Enter your unid and password, then select ‘Login’

  • After selecting ‘Login’, you’ll be prompted to provide 2-factor authentication. Either send a push or enter the passcode directly from the Duo app on your mobile device.

  • After approving the Duo notification or entering the passcode, you’ll be brought to the following page (sometimes after an update) where you can select which Adobe products you’d like to have installed:

Box Drive

  • Complete the sign-in on the following page using your uNID and password

  • Approve the Duo notification

  • After signing in, you’ll see a folder in your Finder sidebar labelled ‘Box’ where you’ll be able to store your files. We recommend making a habit of storing everything in Box, as it’s the best way to insure against data loss in the event of a hardware failure, or transitioning to another computer.

  • On first launch, you’ll be asked to add an account in the following window

  • After approving the login request, you should see the following screen confirming that the account was added successfully

    • Select ‘Personalize Now', and pick whichever customization options you prefer. Afterward you’ll be taken to your inbox.

Teams Desktop Application

Zoom

  • Navigate to your ‘Applications’ folder in Finder, and launch ‘zoom.us’

  • You should now be signed in!
