Drive Sharing to Save Work in Omnissa Horizon Client
Page Contents
Omnissa Horizon Client (Windows)
Because your Virtual Lab exists in a non-persistent environment, it is recommended that you save your work on your local computer, in cloud storage, or on a drive such as an external hard drive or flash drive, rather than in the Lab environment.
- In the Virtual Lab, click on the 3-dot settings icon in the taskbar and select Drive Sharing. Confirm that the options for Share your local files and Allow auto access to removable storage are toggled on. You should see listed within the Folder/Drive area a connection to your local C: drive.
- When you are working on a document or project, to save your progress, you will need to select the appropriate location in which to save it. The below example will use a Word document, but the process will be similar for other types of files: Choose File, Save As and then Browse to select a file destination.
- Within the File Explorer you will want to select Network Drive (Z:) and then wherever you'd like to save your file. In this example we have made a Virtual Lab saved work folder on our local desktop where we will keep all of our files.
- To move something from your local computer into the Lab environment just open up the File Explorer and from within the Network (Z:) drive browse to the location where your file is.
