Enable Clipboard and Copy/Paste #
Close and open the MyQuickCloud desktop application to reload any changes
When enabled, you can copy and paste files and/or folders directly between your local computer and MyWorkspace (remote desktop). For example, to copy a file from the computer you are connecting from to MyWorkspace, do the following:
- Left click on the file to select it
- Right click and select Copy (or use keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C)
- Switch to MyWorkspace (remote desktop), choose the folder to paste it to
- Right click and select Paste (or use keyboard shortcut Ctrl+V)
Enable all monitors to display MyWorkspace (remote desktop) #
Close and open the MyQuickCloud desktop application to reload any changes.
Once enabled, your MyWorkspace (remote desktop) will span across all your monitors/screens. Disabling this feature will display MyWorkspace on the default monitor/screen.
Enable local drives in Windows explorer in MyWorkspace (remote desktop) #
Close and open the MyQuickCloud desktop application to reload any changes.
When enabled, the local drives will appear in Windows explorer, in MyWorkspace (remote desktop). From MyWorkspace, you can then navigate your local files and folders directly.
You can copy/paste files and folders.
Don’t open files directly, especially application files, such as QuickBooks company files. Doing so might corrupt these files, specially if you loose your Internet connection or close MyWorkspace.
Instead, copy the files to a folder in your MyWorkspace (remote desktop) that is on the c:\… drive first, and then open them.
That way, the files are on your MyWorkspace and closing MyWorkspace or loosing your Internet connection won’t affect them.
Below is an example showing local the C drive in MyWorkspace:
- Under Devices and drives, you will see the drives local to MyWorkspace (remote desktop), i.e Local Disk(C:) is the drive in remote location
- Under Redirected drives and folders, you will see the drives that are on your local computer (the one you are connecting from), i.e C on T…, D on T…, etc, are the drives from your local computer
The local computer is the computer your are connecting from, i.e laptop, and MyWorkspace is the computer we are connecting to
Configure remote recording and audio settings #
Close and open the MyQuickCloud desktop application to reload any changes
When enabled, these options play sound and/or record on the local computer or in MyWorkspace (remote desktop).
