Accessing local storage through Virtual Lab (Windows)

Please note: This KB assumes that the Citrix Receiver is already installed.

1. Connect to Virtual Lab and start an application.

2. Locate the Citrix Receiver icon in the lower right area of the Windows task bar (near the time).


     

3. Right click the Citrix Receiver icon and choose “Connection Center”.

4. Click on the yellow folder and padlock icon with a label like ITPRDBLABSH##.

5. Click the “Preferences” button on the right.
     

   

6. Choose the “File Access” tab, then choose the level of access to your local storage (the storage on your computer) that you want Virtual Lab applications to have.

Please Note: “Read and Write” access is recommended.
    

   

7. Your local storage should now be accessible from any Virtual Lab application. You should look for folders named "Local Disk" or "Removable Disk".

8. Please note: Do not use "Desktop", "Documents", and "Downloads" folders, as these refer to locations on the Virtual Lab Server.
