When working with uOlabsPlus, a remote app accesses files stored on your personal computer and files stored on your 91��Ʒ���ϳԹ� network drive.

In this case, select 'this PC'' in the left column from the Matlab dialog box.

To activate the sharing between uOlabsPlus and your local drive you need to go in the Horizon view settings.

To activate the sharing between uOlabsPlus and your local drive you need to click on the “VMware Horizon client” on the navigation bar located at the top of your screen and choose “Preferences”.

Once the sharing functionality has been activated, your local drive will appear in your applications.

If you're using a browser to access uOlabsplus.91��Ʒ���ϳԹ�.ca instead of using Horizon View (Windows or Mac), the process is slightly different.

First, you need to launch the application you want to use. If you do not see the application in full screen, on the left pane, extend your window using the tab, as illustrated in the screen capture.

Choose the appropriate option and follow the instructions displayed in the new window based on whether you want to upload your files (moving them from your personal computer to the H: drive) or download your files (moving them from the H: drive to your own computer).

It is important to understand where the files should be located to be opened by the software and where they should be saved for their safety and the global performance of uOlabsPlus.

You can save a file in three different types of locations. They are represented by the three coloured rectangles in the screen capture as follow:

• The red rectangle represents your profile folders on the server, and you can, for a short term, save your files in these files. By precaution, we do not recommend saving your files in this type of folder because inactive profiles are deleted when your session crashes or if you leave your session without moving the files.
• The green rectangle represents your personal network space H: drive. In these folders you should save and open files for optimal performance and security to prevent file loss. This drive will automatically create a path when you are accessing the server on the university network.
• The yellow rectangle represents your local drive from which you should transfer files on or from it using the copy-paste function. That type of drive should only be used when files are not actively working. Generally, you would transfer files from the H: Drive to your local drive during a final exam/project submission via BrightSpace.

File access performance 

Some software such as Solidworks requires continuous writing to the file when in use. 

The access performance to your personal computer's disk drives from the uOlabsPlus is not optimal and can have a very negative impact on the overall performance of your computer.  

We recommend that you save your files on your university personal network when working with these softwares.
