6.Establish drive redirection by pressing the “Connect” button once. If all the settings are correct, the status bar displays that the connection has been established, the “Connect” button is disabled, and the “Disconnect” button is enabled. In the event of an error, the status line shows the error message.

The drive-redirection software tries to lock the local drive before it is redirected. This prevents the local operating system from accessing the drive as long as it is redirected. The attempt will fail if a file on the drive is currently open. In the case of a locking failure, you will be prompted to confirm that you wish to establish the connection. However, remember that if write support is enabled, drive redirection could damage a drive that is not locked.

7.Use the “Disconnect” button to stop a drive redirection after the process has started.

8.Click “Exit” to shut down the drive-redirection program. If a drive-redirection connection is active, the connection will close before the application terminates.

9.Use the “Hide to Tray” button to minimize the application without terminating it completely. An active connection will remain until you close the application. You can access the software by double-clicking on its tray icon. The tray icon also indicates whether or not a connection is established. Right-click on it to access a submenu.
