How Do I Enable a Local Storage Device to Copy Files to an APS?

Administrators can configure the following policies to copy application files from a local storage device to an APS. You only need to configure one of the following policies.

Clipboard Redirection

  1. Log in to the Workspace Application Streaming console as an administrator.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Policy Groups. The Policy Groups page is displayed.
  3. Click Create Policy Group in the upper right corner. The Create Policy Group page is displayed.
  4. Configure the Policy Name, Description, and Creation Mode, and click Next: Configure Policy.

    • The Policy Name must contain digits, letters, and underscores (_), and cannot contain more than 55 characters, for example, workspace2storage_Clipboard_c2b.
    • The description contains up to 255 characters. For example, clipboard redirection is used when an external device copies a file to an APS.
    • Retain the default creation mode.

    • If the OS of a client (TC/SC or mobile client) or an APS is not Windows, only text can be copied.
