OneDrive support for RemoteApp in Azure Virtual Desktop
Previously, OneDrive could only be used on Azure Virtual Desktop with non-persistent desktops and was not supported on RemoteApp. With this new support, you can now use OneDrive alongside a RemoteApp in Azure Virtual Desktop, which allows users to access and synchronize their files while using a RemoteApp. When a user connects to a RemoteApp, OneDrive can automatically launch as a companion to RemoteApp. The new support has the same features and usability as the OneDrive on your personal device.
