Purpose

Enables end users to work with files, which have been redirected to another folder, as if the files still existed on the local drive.

Lets end users work with files that have been redirected to another folder as if the files still exist on the local drive.

Description

Folder redirection allows users and administrators to redirect the path of a folder to a network location. The documents in the folder are available to the user from any computer on the network.

+

Folder redirection allows users and administrators to redirect the path of a folder to a network location. The documents in the specified folder are will be available from any computer on the network.

    -

  • Folder redirection allows users and administrators to redirect the path of a folder to a network location. The documents in the folder are available to the user from any computer on the network.

    • -

  • The new location can be a folder on the local computer or a folder on a shared network.

    • +

  • The new location can be a folder on either the local computer or a shared network.

  • Folder redirection updates the files immediately, whereas roaming data is typically synchronized when the user logs in or logs off.

Usage example

You can redirect the Documents folder, which is usually stored on the computer's local hard disk, to a network location. The user can access the documents in the folder from any computer on the network.

You can redirect the Documents folder from your computer's local hard disk to a network location. The user can then access the folder's documents from any computer on the network.
