Share Access to Local Folders and Drives
You can congure Horizon Client to share folders and drives on your local system with remote desktops
and applications. Drives can include mapped drives and USB storage devices. This feature is called client
drive redirection.
In a Windows remote desktop, shared folders and drives appear in the Devices and drives section in the
This PC folder, or in the Other section in the Computer folder, depending on the Windows operating
system version. In a remote application, such as Notepad, you can browse to and open a le in a shared
folder or drive. The folders and drives you select for sharing appear in the le system as network drives that
use the naming format name on MACHINE-NAME.
You do not need to be connected to a remote desktop or application to congure client drive redirection
seings. The seings apply to all your remote desktops and applications. That is, you cannot congure the
seings so that local client folders are shared with one remote desktop or application but not with other
remote desktops or applications.
The client drive redirection feature requires that the following library les be installed. On some thin client
machines, these library les might not be installed by default.
n
libsigc-2.0.so.0
n
libglibmm-2.4.so.1
Conguring the browser on the client system to use a proxy server can cause poor client drive redirection
performance if the secure tunnel is enabled on the Connection Server instance. For the best client drive
redirection performance, congure the browser not to use a proxy server or automatically detect LAN
seings.
