Use Custom Shared Network Folders - Amazon AppStream 2.0

Use Custom Shared Network Folders

If your AppStream 2.0 administrator has enabled this file storage option, after you sign in to a streaming session, your administrator will have a custom shared folder configured and named for you. Contact your administrator for the name of the shared folder. Multiple users can access and collaborate within the shared custom folder.

You can do the following with custom shared folders:

  • Open and edit files and folders that you store in OneDrive. Other users cannot access your content unless you choose to share it.

  • Open and edit files and folders that you store in your custom shared folder. Content stored in it can be accessed by other users depending on the permissions configured by your administrator.

  • Upload and download files between your local computer and your shared custom folder.

  • When you are working in an application, you can access files and folders that are stored in your shared custom folder.

To upload and download files between your local computer and your shared custom folder
  1. In the top left of the AppStream 2.0 toolbar, choose the My Files icon.

  2. Navigate to the shared custom folder. Contact your administrator for your folder name.

  3. Choose the shared custom folder.

    • To upload a file to the folder, select the file that you want to upload, and choose Upload.

    • To download a file from the folder, select the file that you want to download, choose the down arrow to the right of the file name, and choose Download.
