Citrix XenDesktop Dynamic Client Drive Mapping

Dynamic client drive mapping enables virtual desktops to access mass storage devices, such as USB flash drives, configured on the endpoint. The virtual(not local) desktop is responsible for controlling USB drives and displaying them in the user interface.

When a USB drive is connected to an endpoint, it is automatically mounted and freely accessible. For any given USB drive, the same drive letter is used by both the virtual and the local desktop as long as the virtual and local drive letters do not conflict.

Note: USB drives accessed using dynamic client drive mapping are treated as network drives. For this reason, users cannot check, reformat, or perform other local operations on them.
