Setup Folder Redirection with the Windows App (MacOS)

If you're using a MacOS computer, it's likely that you're using the New Windows App to connect to the FlexiBake Hosted Environment. If you'd like to copy and paste files, or use a folder as a transfer point between your local computer and the hosted environment you'll need to set these up.

Instructions on Redirection Devices and Folders can be found below:

Redirect devices, audio, and clipboard
You can redirect your local devices, such as printers, smart cards, microphones and cameras, as well as audio, and clipboard to your remote session. If you redirect your local clipboard to your remote session, you can copy and paste text, images, and files. You can also configure the direction in which you can copy. For example, you can copy from your local device and paste into your remote session, or copy from your remote session and paste into your local device.

To enable redirection of devices, audio and the clipboard:

1. Open Windows App, select Devices, then find the device you want to configure redirection settings for.
2. Select the pencil icon (edit) on the card of the device.
3. Check the box for Use customized settings. This check box isn't applicable for remote PCs.
4. On the Devices & Audio tab:
   
   1. Check the box next to each device you want to use in the remote session.
   2. Select whether you want to use your local clipboard in the remote session, and the direction in which you can copy and paste from Bidirectional, Local to Remote Only, Remote to Local Only, or Disabled.
   3. Select whether you want to play sound On this computer, On the remote PC, or Never.
   4. Select Save.

Folder redirection
You can make local folders available in a remote session, which is known as folder redirection. This means you can open files from and save files to your Mac in your remote session. Folders can also be redirected as read-only. Redirected folders appear in the remote session as a network drive in File Explorer.

All remote sessions
To enable folder redirection for all remote sessions:

1. Open Windows App.
2. From the macOS menu bar, select Windows App, then select Settings.
3. Select the General tab, then for If folder redirection is enabled for RDP files or managed resources, redirect:, select Choose Folder....
4. Navigate to the folder you want to be available in all your remote sessions, then select Choose.

Each remote device

1. Open Windows App, select Devices, then find the device you want to configure redirection settings for.
2. Select the ellipses (...) on the card of the device, then select Edit.
3. Check the box for Use custom settings. This check box isn't applicable for remote PCs.
4. On the Folders tab, check the box Redirect folders, then select the + (plus) icon.
5. Navigate to the folder you want to be available when accessing this remote resource, then select Open. You can add multiple folders by repeating the previous step and this step.
