Client drive mapping

During the session, Client drive mapping allows you to access local drives on the user hardware device. The user hardware devices can be CD-ROM drives, DVDs, and USB memory sticks. When a server configuration allows client drive mapping, you can access locally stored files and work on them during sessions. You can also save them either on a local drive or on a drive on the server.

Citrix Workspace app for Mac monitors the directories in which user hardware devices are typically mounted on the user device. It can automatically map any new ones that appear during a session to the next available drive letter on the server.

You can configure the level of read and write access for mapped drives using the Citrix Workspace app for Mac preferences.

To configure read and write access for mapped drives

  1. On the Citrix Workspace app for Mac home page, click the down arrow icon Down arrow icon, and then click Preferences.
  2. Click File Access.
  3. Select the level of read and write access for mapped drives from the following options:
    • Read and Write
    • Read only
    • No access
    • Ask me each time
  4. Log off from any open sessions and reconnect to apply the changes.
