    1. Drive Mapping:
      • Dynamic Mapping: Dynamic client drive mapping enables virtual desktops to access mass storage devices, such as USB flash drives, configured on the endpoint. The virtual (not local) desktop is responsible for controlling USB drives and displaying them in the user interface. When a USB drive is connected to an endpoint, it is automatically mounted and freely accessible. USB drives accessed using dynamic client drive mapping are treated as network drives. For this reason, you cannot check, reformat, or perform other local operations on them.
      Figure 1. Citrix Global Settings
      • Mapping all devices: This option is same as above but the you will be given an option to select the drive letter and read-write permissions for the drives. When this option is enabled all the usb storage devices which are mounted on /run/media/ will be mapped to the Citrix session. You are provided the option to choose the drive letter and read or write  permissions for the drives which have been mounted on to the thin client. The device name value remains constant as /run/media/.
        Figure 2. Citrix Global Settings
      • Mapping a single device: Unlike the previous two options ,this option enables you to select an individual device which should be redirected to the session. The device name lists all the devices that has been successfully mounted on to the thin client. You will be able to select a drive letter and read-write permission for individual drives which redirects to the session.
