Manage import and export of files on AVD

This topic is useful if you are using Azure Virtual Desktop to run the WFM client and you need to import and export files.

The way you handle import and export of files depends on which version of AVD you use; the AVD web client or the AVD desktop client.

Web client

Use the web client's built-in function to transfer files to handle import and export.

Follow this guide: Transfer files with the web client.

Desktop client

If you use the desktop client of Azure Virtual Desktop to import or export files, you must first subscribe to the workspace on the remote Azure Virtual Desktop machine. The files you export can then be saved on your local computer, and you can select files on your local computer to import. You cannot save files to or import files from folders on for example your company network, only on your local computer.

Follow the instructions for Windows or Mac below to install the desktop client and subscribe to a workspace.
