End users can use the file portal to browse and view directories on their local drive and profile-related files in their CVD, such as Desktop, My Documents, My Pictures, and so on.
About this task
End users access the files from the data center, not from the endpoint, so the endpoint does not need to be accessible for the file portal purposes.
End users have read only access to the files and cannot modify or upload them.
End users can select files from any available CVD snapshot, which means they can access files that were previously deleted, or can access earlier versions of files from their snapshots.
When the CVD contains Encrypted File System (EFS) files, only EFS files that the accessing user encrypted are visible on the CVD. Non-authorized files are filtered from the view.
You can view the set of user files and directories that can be excluded from restoration, as defined in the upload policies User area. See Working with Upload Policies.
