By default, when you enable file direction for users of a stack, the following drives and folders are made available for those users to share in their streaming session:
-
Drives:
-
All local hard disks (physical drives, such as the C Drive and D Drive)
-
All virtual drives (network and virtual drives such as mapped drive letters, Google Drive, and OneDrive)
-
All local USB drives
-
-
Folders:
-
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop
-
%USERPROFILE%\Documents
-
%USERPROFILE%\Downloads
-
These drive and folder paths prepopulate the Share your local drives and folders dialog box. This dialog box is displayed when users sign in to AppStream 2.0, start a streaming session, and choose Settings, Local Resources, and Local Drives and Folders.
You can change or define your own default drive and folder paths by editing the registry. You can also use the administrative template file that is provided in the AppStream 2.0 client Enterprise Deployment Tool. This template lets you configure the client by using Group Policy. For more information, see Install and Configure the AppStream 2.0 Client.
When users access their shared local drives and folders during a streaming session, the corresponding paths appear with backslashes replaced by underscores. They are also suffixed with the name of the local computer and a drive letter. For example, for a user with the user name janedoe and a computer name of ExampleCorp-123456, the default Desktop, Documents, and Downloads folder paths appear as follows:
C_Users_janedoe_Desktop (\\ExampleCorp-123456) (F:)
C_Users_janedoe_Documents (\\ExampleCorp-123456) (G:)
C_Users_janedoe_Downloads (\\ExampleCorp-123456) (H:)
