Share Access to Local Folders and Drives with Client Drive
Redirection
You can use Horizon Client to share folders and drives on the local client system with remote desktops and
applications. This feature is called client drive redirection.
Drives can include mapped drives and USB storage devices.
In a Windows remote desktop, shared folders and drives appear in the This PC folder or 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.
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 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
Prerequisites
To share folders and drives with a remote desktop or application, a Horizon administrator must enable the
client drive redirection feature. This task includes installing View Agent 6.1.1 or later, or Horizon Agent 7.0
or later, and enabling the agent Client Drive Redirection option. It can also include seing policies or
registry seings to control client drive redirection behavior. For more information, see the Conguring
Remote Desktop Features in Horizon 7 document.
