These deleted files go to the ShareFile Recycle Bin, which is accessible through the ShareFile Web App. It does not matter whether you remove files using the ShareFile Web App or the DriveMapper application, they all end up in the ShareFile Recycle Bin.

Self servicing DPI scaling while using RES ONE Workspace with Zero Profiling

Posted on July 17, 2017 by Patrick Braam

Recently I worked on a XenDesktop project where RES ONE Workspace 2016 was implemented using Local Profiles and Zero Profiling on Windows 2012R2. End users wanted to be able to change the DPI scaling settings on demand within the Citrix session, as they were used to. This functionality was working for them because Roaming Profiles were being used. It is easy to capture these DPI settings using RES ONE Workspace, but applying them during user login using RES ONE Workspace has no effect. This is because these settings must be in place before the shell is loaded to get it to work.

ShareFile Web App – How to check for your Web App version?

Posted on March 1, 2017 by Patrick Braam

Citrix is continuously improving functionality and developing new functionality for the ShareFile Web App. In order to make these new functionalities available to its customers Citrix rolls out new versions of the Web App.

You can check for new Release Notes here.

In case you want to use newly released features of the Web App but you can’t find them within your subdomain, chances are that your subdomain hasn’t yet been updated to the newest version. You can check if your subdomain is on the release you expect, or still needs an update.

Ok, but how to check for the current Web App version? Depending on the location where your ShareFile domain resides enter https://<yoursubdomain>.sharefile.com/server or https://<yoursubdomain>.sharefile.eu/server in a webbrowser and check for the release entry. This way you are able to see the version of the Web App within your subdomain.

Posted on February 13, 2017 by Patrick Braam

This article is about scanning your data in an On-premises StorageZone using the ShareFile Antivirus functionality.

Citrix Managed or Customer Managed StorageZones
