Virtual desktops will not retain any files saved to them, just as in the labs.

There are four options to save your files:

  1. Save to the W-Drive.

  2. Save to Microsoft OneDrive or Teams.

  3. Save to the local machine that was used to initiate the connection. (requires the client to be used)

  4. Pass through a USB storage device. (requires the client to be used)

Option 3 - Save to the local machine that was used to initiate the connection.

  • In the toolbar at the top of the screen. Select Options.

  • Select Share Folders in the drop down menu.

  • Select Add.

  • Select the location from the local computer to add.

  • The new location will appear in the File Explorer under This PC.

Option 4 - Pass through a USB storage device

  • Physically plug in your USB storage device.

  • In the toolbar at the top of the screen. Select Connect USB Device, then select the USB device from the list.

  • After the driver installs, the USB device will be attached to the desktop.
