Granting Citrix Access to Local Drives on a MAC

The steps below will allow the user to adjust the access to their local drives on a MAC computer, via Citrix.

1. In the Citrix Receiver, select Preferences

2. Then select "File Access"

3. Adjust the access level as desired for the level of access that you would like FOS to have to your local drives.
Read and write - Full access and permissions
Read - the files can be viewed, but not manipulated.
No Access - the drives and files cannot be access from Citrix.
Ask me each time - a pop up will appear each time Citrix tries to access our local drives. You may need to adjust other settings on your machine if you are not seeing the popup message.
