Mapping a Mobile Device for a Session

There are two alternative options to map a mobile device to a drive in a session:

  • Automatic Drive Mapping

  • Manual Mapping to a Specific Drive

Automatic Drive Mapping

You can use dynamic client drive mapping to have a drive automatically mapped to your mobile device. The directories and files on your mobile device will be accessible under this drive.

  1. In the IGEL Setup, go to Devices > Storage Devices > Storage Hotplug and enable Storage hotplug.

  2. Set Client drive mapping to "Dynamic".

  3. Click OK.

You can access the directories and files on your mobile device like with a regular hotplug storage device.

For further information, see the manual chapter Storage Hotplug.

You can specifiy a drive letter under which the directories and files on your mobile device will be accessible.

  1. If the session will run in fullscreen mode, open the IGEL Setup, go to User Interface > Desktop and activate In-Session Control Bar.

  2. If the session will run in fullscreen mode or appliance mode, ensure that Autostart under Accessories > Mobile Device Access is enabled. See here also Enabling Mobile Device Access.

  3. Go to the Drive Mapping page for your session type. Example: With RDP sessions, the setup path is Sessions > RDP > RDP Global > Mapping > Drive Mapping.

  4. Activate Enable drive mapping.
