VLab software runs through the users' browser and is not available for download or purchase. Work can be saved to TigerBytes, but not directly to any external storage disks or drives. By saving projects and documents from Vlab to TigerBytes, students are able to access the files anywhere the officially licensed software is available.

Once the project has been uploaded to TigerBytes, it can then be moved to an external drive or disk, but students are not allowed to save the file directly to a drive without accessing TigerBytes.
