How to Use OneDrive for Streamed Apps

If you are using the Horizon Platform for streamed applications only and not the Windows 11 desktop, you will need to establish a connection with your OneDrive before having access in your individual applications.

QUICK STEPS

  • Launch the Omnissa Horizon Client from your desktop (Instructions for installation are here
    NOTE:  If this action opens a file explorer window immediately, your one-drive is already connected.).
  • Navigate to OneDrive and Double Click
  • Login to One Drive with your Case ID-Email (abc123@case.edu)
  • Click “Next” to advance
  • Click “Start Backup”
  • Click “Open My OneDrive Folder”

OneDrive is now connected to the Horizon System.  Any application you open from Horizon should now show “One Drive – Case Western Reserve University” in any folder navigation for opening and saving files.

Tip! You should only need to sign in to the OneDrive app ONCE to see the OneDrive folder in the streamed app.
