Browser Support Note
We currently support all the major web browsers including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.
With Microsoft's recent end of support announcement for Internet Explorer, we will also be terminating our support of IE in the DuraCloud web interface in order to focus on delivering the highest quality user experience for the vast majority of our users. If you are still using Internet Explorer, we recommend you consider moving the Edge, Microsoft's support web browser.
