All accounts are being transferred gradually; you belong to this group if you received an email from the Ein Karem IT dept. The accounts of most BA students and administrative staff have been transferred, the rest will be completed in the coming months with an email being sent a week in advance)
First you need to log in to Rumba VPN (with either an OTP card or an SMS one time code)

Click “finish”
Now any time you want to access your H drive you simply need to log into Rumba as above, activate the client, and work on your H drive as usual. (There’s a possibility you’ll need to reenter your username periodically, again it will be in the format username@ekmd)
