Preparing MacOS to save in Citrix

Preparing MacOS to save in Citrix

Issue 1: Citrix Requires permission to save files on a Mac laptop or desktop. To set this permission:

• Log in to Citrix Workspace
• In the upper right hand corner there is a downward pointing triangle next to your name or "menu" if not logged in, click on that to open the Citrix Settings menu
  • Choose Preferences
    • ​
  • Once the Citrix Settings menu opens choose "File Access"
  • Select "Read and Write"
    • ​
  • Close that box and return to the main Citrix Workspace screen and you are finished.
  • ** Note, this can also be triggered by navigating to the "C:" drive for the first time on your laptop (also known as "/" on your Mac) and you will be prompted for the following. Choose "Read and Write".
    • 
• Permissions should now be set appropriately to save files locally

 

Issue 2: Save files to a valid location on the Mac

 

When attempting to save files on a Mac laptop or desktop, remember to save the file in a location that is writeable on the Mac. This is generally located in the /Users/[yourUsername]/ directory. Saving to the root of the drive will generally not work.

• When browsing to save a file, click on "This PC" and choose a "Local Disk (C: on YourComputerName)"
• Then navigate to Users --> [YourUsername] and save to a subfolder in there.
