Overview
Folders for Remote Desktop is a great extension for remote desktop user experience allowing to redirect local drives and folders to the remote desktop environment making them available as if it were network drives.
As a result, local files and folders appear directly in the remote desktop environment making the process of file transfer really easy.
How it works
Folders for Remote Desktop consists of two parts. The Workstation part is to be installed on the local computer. The Server part goes to the remote session.
Now, every time you log in to the remote desktop session, all your local drives will appear there as they were a network drives making local files available remotely.
For security reasons, all your redirected drives are isolated within your individual user session. Other users on the same system can't see your files.
