Sharing local drive on Mac/OSX

Question

I know Windows RDC app let's you share your local drive(s) with an Azure VM. How can I share a local Mac/OSX (folder)/drive with an Azure VM?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi,

Based on my research, it would be possible.

Accessing a shared folder would require you to configureproper ports in endpoints and Windows Firewall for file sharing on the VM. More information:

In addition, if you want to access the local driver on your Azure VM, the easy way would be choosing the driver that you want to share under the Local devices and resources dialog box in Remote Desktop Connection:

Answer 2

Hi,

This is Windows Remote Desktop Connection (I know its available there), I'm also on Mac and as far as I can see there's no option for sharing a Local Drive with the Mac/OSX Microsoft Remote Desktop app.

Answer 3

Hi，

I am sorry that the figure I provided is for Windows OS.

In addition, you can click New button in Microsoft Remote Desktop App dialog box, click Redirection, then select Enable folder redirection, and click the [+] button in the lower left to begin mapping a new folder.

Best regards,

Susie
