- Right click the Citrix Receiver icon and choose Connection Center.
- Click on the yellow folder and padlock icon with a label like VLABMCSGNRL## and select Preferences.
- Choose the File Access tab, then choose the level of access to your local storage (the storage on your computer) that you want Virtual Lab applications to have. Please Note: Read and Write access is recommended.
- Select OK.
- Select Close.
- Return to the application, and you should be able to open a file from your local machine or device. You should look for folders named "Local Disk" or"Removable Disk". Please note: Do not use "Desktop", "Documents", and "Downloads" folders, as these refer to locations on the Virtual Lab Server.
