Mount a local drive
Mount a folder from your computer.
When you rent a Virtual Machine you may have some documents you want to transfer from your local computer into the Virtual machine. To accomplish this there are a few options. The one we recommend is to leverage the ThinLinc client. Thinlinc offers some options to mount a local drive directly into your virtual machine.
