Creating a Mapped Drive To Make It Easy To Go To a Specific Local Folder in RDS

If you need frequent access to local files and folders, you can make things much easier by creating a mapped drive.   Once you do this, the mapped drive will show up in the RDS File Explorer.  Here's how:

- Open the File Explorer on your local machine.

- Select This PC from the left pane. Then, on the Computer tab, select Map network drive. 

- In the Drive list, select a drive letter.  In the Folder box, type the path of the desired folder.

- Click Finish.

- Now right-click on your RDS file and click on Edit.

- Click on the Local Resources tab.

- Click on the More button.

- Check the Drives option and then select which mapped drive you want to make available in your RDS File Explorer.

- Open the RDS file.  Your new mapped drive will be listed in the File Explorer going forward.
