Hello Lorenzo, Thank you for explaining.
When connecting to linux system via Guacamole using ssh, we simply enable sftp transfer and specify File browser root directory: path. and all transferred files are stored on target system. I assumed the same is applicable when transferring files over RDP on Windows and the transferred files will be available when accessing the target system directly without using Guacamole. On Guacamole Edit connection --> Device Redirection --> Enable drive: enabled, and Drive path = no value , Windows target system show root folder of guacamole server as shared drive name "Guacamole Filesystem on Guacamole RDP". !!!!. And on Windows, shared folder name is "Guacamole Filesystem on Guacamole RDP" unless "Drive name" is specified in Device Redirection. 1, Since there is no <username> on shared drive name (on windows, i'm logged in as local administrator), will shared folder contents be accessible across all windows systems by this user when connecting thru guacamole with drive redirection configured ?. 2, on Linux system running Guacamole, who should be the owner for shared folder path. e.g. "/var/guacamole/shared-drive" ?. The current owner is root.

This folder corresponds to a subdir with the name of the user connected to Guacamole, that Guacamole creates automatically inside the directory specified in configuration as shared drive. When you go into the Windows machine in Guacamole, you can find a mapped shared drive into File Explorer, you can see that it is named “<username> on Guacamole RDP”. Inside this mapped drive you can find the files you uploaded before. And this works also in the opposite way. The content of this shared drive is the same for all windows machines used by the same user, as it is the same directory in the Guacamole server that is mapped to the current connection. I hope this answers your question.
