How to Allow Audio, Clipboard and Drive Redirection via Policy with Thinfinity® Workspace

Thinfinity Workspace enables you to configure remote connections with audio redirection, supports file transfers through its ThinDisk feature, and allows copy-paste operations between the remote desktop and your local computer.

To use these features, ensure that the appropriate Windows policies are active. This guide outlines the steps to verify and enable these features for proper functionality:


1. Open the Windows Group Policy Editor by navigating to Start > Run and typing gpedit.msc.

2. Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource Redirection. This will display the three setting options we will check to allow Audio Redirection, Clipboard Redirection, and Drive Redirection. 

3. In this path, open the policy that corresponds to the feature you wish to enable.
