Citrix now supports Dragging and then dropping files between a Citrix session and a local endpoint.

You can drag and then drop files, groups of files, directories, groups of directories, or a combination of files and directories to and from the same client on the session.  This ability applies to a desktop session or a seamless app. This includes the desktop, Explorer window, and some applications. 
 

Instructions

• On CVAD 2003, To enable drag-and-drop, make the following registry setting on the host:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CtxDNDSvc\
Name: Enabled
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

• After you enable the registry value, and if using the required Citrix Workspace app version, drag-and-drop is enabled after the next session logon.

• From CVAD 2012, we have a new policy ‘Drag and Drop’ in the Studio to accomplish the same task. This feature is enabled by default.
• Note:- “From CVAD 2109, Drag and Drop policy is set to 'disabled' as default”

• You cannot drag a file from a client desktop into a Firefox or Internet Explorer browser window inside a desktop session.
• You cannot drag and then drop into a zipped folder, into an application shortcut, a message from a seamless application to a client desktop, or into a seamless Outlook message if dragged quickly from a client.

• The feature requires a minimum of Citrix Workspace app 2002 for Windows.
• CVAD 2003 and above.
