When copying files from Mac to PC using Microsoft Remote Desktop I prefer to share a subfolder, not the entire drive. Here's how: In Remote Desktop on your Mac select your PC in the 'My Desktops' section. Click the 'Edit' button (pencil icon). In the popup click the 'Redirection' button (folder icon; see image below). Before an Apple MacBook, iMac, or Mac Mini can access the resources on a Windows PC, you must allow a remote connection. If you follow these steps in order, you’ll create the first half of the structure you need to use Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac successfully.

Migrate Microsoft Remote Desktop Mac Version 10.11.6
Microsoft has recently released a major update for the Remote Desktop app for macOS, rolling out not only a new design, but also several new features enabled in a remote session.
The first thing you’ll notice when updating Remote Desktop for Mac to version 10 is the new UI. Microsoft has focused specifically on making the app look more modern and to align it with the design of the operating system, so you’ll now see flat thumbnails in the main window to let you quickly connect to saved clients.
Furthermore, Microsoft has extended the list of device redirections in the remote session, so while previously you were allowed to redirect a printer, you can now do the same thing for your local microphone and smart cards.
“Please note that you can’t use a redirected smart card to sign into your remote PC. The redirected smart card isn’t available until after you sign in,” Microsoft explains.
Another handy update is support for macOS shortcuts in a remote session, with allowed hotkeys currently for cutting, copying, and pasting.

In documentation posted on its Enterprise Mobility + Security blog, Microsoft provides guidance on how to migrate connection data to this latest version from Microsoft Remote Desktop 8.0.

“Verify you have the latest version 8.0.43 installed to migrate your connection data. Next look for Microsoft Remote Desktop in the App Store to download the new application on your Mac running OS X Yosemite or higher. Once installed you can skip the first run experience. In the menu click connections and choose the option to import connections from the other app. Now you are set to use the new app,” the company says.
At first glance, version 10 does come with noticeable performance improvements, leaving aside the new UI, with everything feeling more responsive and easier to use thanks to the shortcuts. You can give it a try to the new version by downloading Microsoft Remote Desktop for macOS using this link.
