Configuring the Cloud environment
In cloud-based computing, you can access web applications and services that run on remote servers using the Internet. Dell
Hybrid Client enables you to access cloud applications and cloud drives seamlessly.
Dell Hybrid Client supports the following cloud applications:
● Azure Office 365
● Google Workspace (formerly G Suite)
Dell Hybrid Client supports the following cloud storage:
● OneDrive—Supports both enterprise and personal OneDrive accounts*.
● Google Drive—Supports both enterprise and personal OneDrive accounts*.
*Personal cloud accounts are supported from the Dell Hybrid Client 1.5 release onwards.
NOTE: In the Dell Hybrid Client version 1.1 release, OneDrive access is supported only when setting up the Office 365
configuration. If Office 365 is not configured, you cannot access OneDrive from File Explorer. However, you can access
OneDrive directly from the web browser. From Dell Hybrid Client version 1.5 onwards, you can access your OneDrive
account from File Explorer.
Offline mode—Cloud files can be made available in offline mode using File Explorer, where user can use the file when network

Dell Hybrid Client supports Single Sign-On (SSO) to cloud applications and web applications. It enables you to log in only one
time with one set of credentials to get access to all your applications. You can seamlessly launch the cloud application after
logging in as a domain user without entering the credentials again.

Federation Services (ADFS) authentication. This feature is supported from Dell Hybrid Client version 1.5 onwards.
