I have successfully been able to get the drives installed on our RDP sessions, but they are slow to be accessed. I had to add line sessionconfig=RDP usbredirection=RDP to oput wnos.ini file.
Now that they work by being installed they take 2-5 minutes for the device to become available for use. From a user point of view this is not acceptable

You need to specify what protocol (ICA, RDP or PCoIP) and the OS that you are connecting to. Each thin client has a firmware type that also matters how USB drives are connected.
In general USB drives are "mapped" over RDP and ICA. On Wyse ThinOS you need to enable disks to allow USB drives to map into your session. Either check the box on the connection for disks or add the command sessionconfig=All Mapdisks=Yes to your wnos.ini file used to configure the units. See the WTOS admin guide for more information on this.
If you are using virtual desktops then USB drives will be "installed" instead of "mapped". They will become a drive letter and show their label just like a PC. You may need to enable the USB tunnel for this to work and it depends on the thin client firmware type on how it interacts with the USB tunnel. Post more specifics about your environment and we can get more detailed with the answer.
