IT staff can redirect local drives from the user's device to the Parallels RAS remote session, enabling users to work on local files while using published applications. This is particularly beneficial for users who want to keep all their personal data and files on their local drive while still using remote applications on the server to open them.

Parallels RAS fully supports USB redirection. It enables specific device types to be used effectively in a remote session, such as:

• Drive redirection enables users to access any local drive in a remote session, including USB drives.
• Smart card redirection enables users to authenticate in a remote session by using smart cards and e-tokens.
• Plug-and-play device redirection enables users to access PTP digital cameras, MTP music players, and POS for .NET devices in a remote session.
• Input redirection enables the use of input devices such as keyboards and mice in remote sessions.

The Parallels RAS RemoteFX USB Redirection policy enables IT to easily configure Microsoft USB redirection by simply enabling a checkbox, rather than through the more complex process of group policy objects (GPOs) or registry changes on Windows client devices.

This policy is especially useful for unmanaged Windows client devices, which might otherwise be tricky to configure—especially in organizations employing bring-your-own-device (BYOD) strategies and service providers with multiple customers.
