Creating a Quick Access Shortcut to a Local Folder in RAS

If you need frequent access to your local folders, you can make things much easier by adding the location to your Quick Access section.  Here's how:

- From the RAS Portal screen open your "File Explorer" published app.   

- Locate This PC on the left pane and then click on the entry for C on My Local Machine.  Then double-click on your local machine's Users directory.

- For this example, we're creating a shortcut to the local machine's Desktop.  The same principle applies to any folder on your local machine.

- To create the shortcut, click on the Desktop folder and drag it under the Quick access section and drop it there.

- You now have a shortcut to your local folder that you can use from the other RAS apps.
