Please note: This only allows you to save files from MyLab directly onto your computer. There is currently no way to transfer files from your personal computer onto the MyLab/VMWare client.
1. Go to mylab.dmacc.edu and select the “Install VMWare Horizon Client” (if you haven’t installed it already) and choose the download for your operating system.
If you are using Windows you will want to select the Windows Operating System version highlighted below. For other Operating Systems like Linux or Mac iOS you will want to select the most recent version available for your Operating System.
Then Select the "Download Now" button.
By default it may download the installer to your Downloads folder. But, it is always worth checking where it will install before clicking save. The selected file location will be written in the file location above your downloaded files, as indicated by the red arrow.
You can always select a different folder from the column on the left of the download window, so make sure you know where the file will be downloaded to before you click save.
Once the file is downloaded you can either click the file from the drop down button from your web browser...
Or open the file location the file was saved to. (Ex. "Downloads").
Start by selecting file explorer (Yellow folder) on your task bar, then navigate to your downloads folder, and double click the "Omnissa-Horizon_Client-..." to install the Omnissa VM.
2. Once installed, run the Omnissa Horizon client and enter your DMACC email and password. (Ex. "username@dmacc.edu"), and make sure DMACC is selected in the bottom text field.
3. Click on the settings bar in the bottom left corner, then select "Drive & Folder Sharing"
4. Toggle on "Share your local files." and "Allow auto access to removable storage."
5. You can keep the default above, or you can add/remove whatever folders you want. You can even add the entire C:\ drive.
6. To Add another drive click "Add".
7. Then Select the drive you want to add underneath "This PC". And click "Select Folder".
8. Click the back arrow in the top left.
9. Then select the desktop you want to log in to.
10. At this point when you are in the VM, you can open windows explorer and you should see your local drives underneath "This PC":
