- Select the Collection field at the top. Type Bucknell and you should see a list of endpoints. Select one of these endpoints. Note that you can also search for other endpoints to select systems outside of Bucknell, including your personal computer or Google Drive.
- Once you’ve selected the endpoint, you will be prompted to allow authentication/consent. Select “Continue”. On the next page, select your Bucknell username (e.g., abc@bucknell.edu). Then, on the next page, select “Allow”. Note that the default lifetime of these credentials is 11 days.
